Dragon fruit for lunch

Haven't had one of these for yonks!

I love to look at them

All the better to eat though!
Aren't they the fruit of a cactus?

Thats right Meanie, I like to serve them as a palate cleanser, well chilled they have a great texture dont really taste of anything. But very healthy.

I always think of the taste as a "citrusy" pear......

Hi Drc I googled and here's a couple more serving suggestions....
Dragon fruit flesh is mild-flavored, soft and juicy, but will hold it's shape when cut. Dice and add to fruit salads or desserts with other tropical fruits. Juice and combine with fresh fruit cocktails, leaving the seeds intact for a unique appearance. Puree dragon fruit flesh, combine with sugar and freeze into sorbets and sherbets. To store, refrigerate. :))

thanks Crissue

The inside of the fruits from Akebia look similar to this.
I like to make the fruit into a smoothie:
take 1 dragon fruit, scoop out and put into a blender along with 1 banana, 1 tin of coconut milk, lime zest and a squeeze of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of honey.
Blend until thick (you may have to put some milk in to make it smoother), chill and enjoy!
I leave the seeds in. You could try adding a passion fruit as well.

that sounds good G

It is, and if you are into muesli, try it on that instead of just milk.

Will do.
