My kid brother gave my sister these 3 pieces of dragon fruit and a piece of avocado. I, my son, and my sister do not even know how to peel these fruits, what should be eaten, or what should be the dip. Either knowing too if the taste is sweet, sour,spicy, pungent, salty, or tasteless.
We know this fruit has antioxidants but we don't even know how to test if they are ripe or not yet.
Have you tasted this fruit? How is it?

I prefer the red fleshed dragon fruits over the white fleshed ones. The white fleshed ones are bland.

with what you stated that the taste is halfway between the kiwi and pear, i feel i can taste it now, or hallucinating the taste?

Dragon fruit has white flesh and red flesh. All you have to do is cut it into halves and scoop up the flesh.

just like the avocado, you slice it in the middle then scoop it out.

@ridingbet The flesh inside is very similar to kiwi fruit, but the color is different.

i have seen the tree of this dragon fruit. there is a plantation in a town far north. these look like aliens from outer space because the branches are like cacti. but i saw the trees from afar.

I noticed that you are from Philippines. I thought dragon fruits may be one of the common fruits in your side. I am surprised that you don't even know it. Here dragon fruits are one of the common fruits. Sometimes I make a juice with it.

no, it is not a common fruit here. there are some lands with trees of this fruit. it is considered a special fruit here and not everybody can grow this tree. the more common fruits here are mangoes, bananas, and lots more, but dragon fruit, not everybody even tasted this.

Thanks but are they sweet? Maybe I should open one, or do I have to peel it?

@ridingbet Like Anna said don't peel. We just cut them in quarters actually. Not too sweet. You can try them.
