Dragon Fruit

There are some things here that are fantastic. One of those things is Dragon fruit. I feel that more people should know about this wonderful fruit so I have included pictures of before I cut it open and after. The amazing thing is that the skin peels right off which makes it easy to cut up. The consistency is similar to Watermelon but less watery when you bite into it. The seed look like those from a Strawberry and the taste is very mild. I love that the fruit is so colorful and you can even buy a variety that the inside is dark purple instead of white. I heard you can get them in America for $8 but here I pay around $0.75 for two, you pay by the Kilo.
Time to eat some fruit!
One of my favorite ways to eat this fruit besides in a fruit salad is with plain yogurt and Muesli...I'm getting hungry just thinking about it :) This is something I have been eating for breakfast most mornings and find that it is a great way to start the day and really healthy for you. Muesli is toasted oats, dried fruits, nuts, and seeds...my New Zealand and European friends are rubbing off on me.
Peel and ready to eat
