To eat dragon fruit, follow these simple steps:
- Select a ripe fruit : Choose one with bright, evenly colored skin (usually red or pink) that gives slightly when pressed
- Wash the fruit under cold water and dry it
- Cut the fruit in half lengthwise using a sharp knife
- Scoop out the flesh with a spoon by sliding it between the flesh and the skin, or peel the skin off gently and then slice or cube the flesh
- Eat the flesh as is, or add it to fruit salads, smoothies, yogurt, or desserts
Note that the skin is not edible and should be discarded
. Dragon fruit has a mildly sweet taste, often described as a cross between a kiwi and a pear, with a texture similar to kiwi due to the small edible seeds inside
. In summary, dragon fruit is easy to prepare and enjoy fresh by cutting, scooping or peeling, and eating the flesh directly or incorporating it into various dishes
