What is a Dragon Fruit?
Dragon Fruits are the fruit of a cactus that is very low in calories, very filling and rich in antioxidants. Dragon Fruits are high in fiber, protein, calcium, potassium, magnesium and a rich source of vitamins and minerals.
Ripe Dragon Fruit can be peeled and eaten out of hand like any other fruit or added to recipes like, smoothies bowls, smoothies and smoothie ice pops.
You'll find fresh Dragon Fruit in the produce section of most grocery stores near the other tropical fruits.
Like most other healthy fruits and vegetables the brighter the color the more health benefits. Purple Dragon Fruit is higher in all the nutrients that the white fleshed Dragon Fruit has.
Be warned though that the juice from the bright purple color of a Dragon Fruit will stain everything it comes in contact with.
What does a Dragon Fruit Taste like?
Each variety of a Dragon Fruit will have it's own flavor profile. The flavor of a Dragon Fruit is hard to describe. Imagine the flavors of melon, kiwi and pear all mixed together. You'll have to try one yourself to find out.
