Have you ever heard of a dragon fruit? Also known as Pitaya? I found out about them about 4 years ago and have always wanted one. Well finally they're having them at a Central Market in Dallas so I'm going to go over there and get some tomorrow! WOOOO.
People say they taste like kiwis and mango and melon. That it has a consistency of a watermelon. they are originally from Mexico and Central America. Look them up and go see if you can find one! They will probably be in a local asia market. :)

Never heard of it, but it certainly looks interesting!

They are delicious. They remind me of Kiwi in taste but more melon like though. They have a red flesh variety as well as the white one shown.

I saw some last summer in Walmart, and got one. It's pretty good! The glider boys liked it too. I understand the red ones have more flavor.

Honestly don't think the red ones are any tastier, but they stain like beetroot so they are much messier.

Yeah, there are like, 3 different flesh colors right? Like a magenta, red and white.
I can't wait to go try one this morning. I have strep throat right now so I'm going to go drink some soup and then hopefully my mom will take me lol.
