Nope. I never heard of a dragon fruit. Why do they called it a dragon fruit? It doesn't shape like a dragon or taste like one. Well I don't know about the taste. I never eat it. ^_^

I know dragon fruit. In fact it's selling here in summer. I am not so keen on this fruit. Because I don't think it's juicy. I don't know it has such an advantage for health. Thanks for telling us.
