Dragon fruit

[Bullfrog]

We've been seeing them and finally tried one..

Slice the exterior and it peels off...

The fruit is white with a lot of small soft seeds, really sweet, tender and good, unlike anything we have ever tasted..

We had it in china last year, so much sweeter than what we get here. We just cut it in half and pop it out.

It does look like something a dragon would eat. Looks like its kind of creamy. Never seen one before but looks rather unique! What would you compare the taste too?

Something like a cross of a watermelon and a mangosteen?

I really can't compare it to anything except maybe a toned down Kiwi.

Ok thanks guys and I'd try it if I ever had the chance. Bet you will run into all kinds of new taste sensations there Bullfrog. You'll be eating those horrid grubs and giant insects like that guy on tv who goes around tasting every weird kind of edible food in the world.

The seeds look like that of a Kiwi.

Check out this seed that washed up on Yan Ten...

You gonna plant it to see what it becomes?

What is that? Looks like a mottled mango! LOL!

It's hollow and you can hear the seeds rattling around inside of it, it's so big I'd like to see the tree it came off of.
