Discovering the Flavour and Texture of Dragon Fruit!
Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a tropical delight renowned for its striking appearance and unique taste. Its flavour is subtly sweet, with a hint of pear and kiwi-like tang, making it a refreshing and light treat. The texture is equally intriguing: its flesh is soft and creamy, speckled with tiny edible seeds reminiscent of those in a kiwi. Depending on the variety, dragon fruit can be white, pink or red on the inside, each offering slight variations in sweetness and juiciness. Whether you're savouring it raw or incorporating it into your cooking, its vibrant look and delicate flavour make it a versatile addition to your recipes.
Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Dragon Fruit
Blending: Blend into smoothies for a tropical twist.

Cooking suggestions: Blending, grilling, mixing into sauces for seafood or chicken, mashing into purees for desserts or cocktails or dehydrating for a healthy snack.
Serving suggestions: Pair with citrus fruits (lime, orange), dairy (yoghurt, coconut milk) or combine with spices such as chillies. Add to fruit salads (mango, pineapple, papaya) or top oatmeal, pancakes or ice cream.
