Dragon Fruit?

hi i bought a dragon fruit from the fruit market today because it looked strange and i have never tried it. How would i go about eating it? just peel it? slice it? cook it?

Dragon Fruit?
Cut in half and then turn it inside out and eat everything but the peel.

Or should I say Dragon Fruit.

Faced with such a strange looking fruit it was a bit intimidating to think how to eat it ... did you bite into it like a apple ... eat the centre like a pomegranate ... was it best raw or cooked?



In fact you don’t eat the skin of the fruit, just the flesh from inside. I scooped out the flesh with a spoon (it scoops straight out just like scooping out sorbet) and it tasted a bit like melon or kiwi ... actually the taste is very bland considering how exciting it looks!



If you’re thinking of eating dragon fruit it’s best eaten chilled and if you don’t want to eat it on its own have it as a desert with a sorbet.



Other recommended ways of eating dragon fruit are within ice cream, or turn it into a drink by putting the flesh through a juicer or it can be fermented into a wine.
Reply:Eat it fresh. Cut it into slices then the skin should come off quite easily. Then eat the flesh. They are really quite tasty and taste like a sweet version of kiwi. Enjoy!

Pitaya can be chilled and cut in half to reveal the attractive flesh and either sliced or scooped out with a spoon. The delicately sweet flesh is crisp and refreshing.
Reply:eat it fresh...you're lucky, i want to get one and no one around here has even heard of them, the only ones i can find are on the internet, like 20 a case for 100 bucks. grr.



they're really good though, or at least the extract is, the closest i have ever gotten to one, and they look cool.
Reply:I like to slice dragon fruit lengthways and then into slices (like cutting an orange). It goes further that way and more people can sample this nutritious fruit.



(Sometimes I like to squeeze some lemon on it for an extra zing!)
Reply:chill them in the fridge first,then cut them in half and eat them out from the spoon. easy and less mess!
