Dragon Fruit is definitely worth a try! It is so easy to prepare...just cut in half and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Cut into chunks! The little black seeds are similar to the kiwi seeds. The fruit has a pleasant flavor, not to sweet. And it is so healthy for you! Your kids will love it!

I tried dragon fruit once. I LOVED it! But, since I wasn't sure how to cut it, I ended up with a pricker in my finger :( Not happy about that.

How interesting... I am having a Tupperware party tomorrow night and have decided it is going to be a garden party theme for appetizers. I will look in my grocery store for these... Thank you!
I only ate dragon fruit once before and loved it! I need to buy them more often!
I git one a while back and it tasted like nothing. I guess I just git a bad one. I'll have to try again.
Thanks.
My son LOVES dragonfruit. He's a weird nature loving science geek, though, and has expanded my fruit & veggie knowledge!! I love learning new things. Great post!
I love dragonfruit and the added plus is, is it looks beautiful.
OMG!, this fruit looks soooo cool and gorgeous! I am curious as to what it tastes like?; I've never seen one at any of the 5 diff. supermarkets I go to, but I'll keep an eye out for it! ^_^
