Did You Know: Dragon Fruit!



Have you ever tried a dragon fruit before? I haven't, until now! It is so good, but not just that, it is also super pretty inside! It tasted and had the texture a little like a kiwi, except it is a lot milder in flavor.

Now, how do you cut into one of these babies? really easy!

  • grab your dragon fruit and knife and cutting board
  • slice your dragon fruit down the middle (like shown above)
  • now you can slice it down the middle again (into quarters)
  • now, see the pretty pink skin? grab a hold of a corner and pull back. You are going to just peel it away from the flesh.
  • when you peel away all the skin you are left with the edible white flesh. Don't worry, the seeds are edible (think kiwi)
Did you know:
  • they are full of vitamin C
  • full of anti-oxidants
  • it grows on a cactus!! 
so go out and try one! be adventurous! take risks! you might end up finding a new favorite food!
