    I’m about to try dragon fruit for the first time. Brb.

    Update: interesting. Not bad. Not flavourable. A bit like kiwi fruit’s mute brother.

      I found it pretty tasteless, I bet it tastes better when cactus ripened and in a tropical country

        I reckon it would be quite refreshing on a hot summer’s night rather than a cold autumn evening.

        I find it fairly tasteless and excessively seedy. Boyo adores it pan grilled. 🤷🏻‍♀️

        It’s a fairly neutral taste but the red dragon fruit I had in Vietnam did have a subtle taste.

      Pretty is where it’s at, I think. Looks lovely on a fruit platter or part of a cheese board - really shines there. As a fruit in and of itself - meh. The red sort is tastier than the white sort I find.

      I think your description is apt.

      Did you try the white or red dragon fruit? I quite like red dragon fruit. But in any case I don’t find it similar to kiwi fruit at all.

          Yeah the white is a bit forgettable. Red dragon fruit is better but it does have a fairly neutral taste.

            It’s a very interesting fruit. I was expecting something with a bit more flavour considering the colour.

            Was like pretty people but with not much personality.
