Dragonfruit? - Beyond Tiki

I would prefer to get red dragonfruit. In any event, the fruit has suprisingly little flavor for something that you'd expect might blow your socks off without removing your shoes. It has edible seeds like kiwis, but lots more of them. It spoons up like a papaya or melon. It is kind of strange eating a fruit that has texture like a soft melon, but practically no flavor. I find that you have to combine it with other things for a flavor component. I still like them for all of their medicinal value and they do look fantastic. Just wait until you spoon yourself a mouthful. All texture and no flavor. [ Edited by: The Gnomon 2010-01-06 20:07 ]
