Our dragon fruit is the purple variety which is good for eating as is. The white variety is good for the fruit salad. I just want to share the picture of how the fruit looks when sliced and ready for eating. I can finish 1 whole fruit when I eat alone.
But there is a downside to eating the purple dragon... on the next day.

I always enjoy eating our dragon fruit because it is very sweet.

@Alexandoy That is good to know that. So how did it go the day after eating it?

@rsa101 the thing in the toilet bowl is purple. You would be scared if you do not know that it was the effect of the fruit.

@Alexandoy This shows that you really love the fruit. I just had a cup of blueberries.

The sliced fruit makes it more enticing. I had consumed one whole fruit in one sitting.

I’ve never had it before. It reminds me of beets.

It is the color that made it look like beet but the taste is heavenly.

I would hate to think about what the downside is on the next day.

Just the color though, no other effect.

That is one advantage of a tropical country, more fruits we have here.

The purple dragon fruit looks really yummy. I have never seen this fruit . How does it taste like. Is it similar in taste to Guava.

It is like kiwi fruit in texture but the taste has a similarity to watermelon.

It is very sweet because I bought the planting material from a nursery.

That is one problem with dragon fruit. It is susceptible to worms.
