Dragon Fruit

The penultimate blog I will be posting is about the dragon fruit. This pink, green and white fruit is extremely exotic looking but is actually very common worldwide. This south East Asian fruit is grown on a small bush and each fruit is grown with small spikey looking leaves on them. This makes a lot of people and animals think that these fruits are inedible straight from the bush but this is not true. When this fruit is cut in half, a strange white and black speckled inside is shown. This is the edible part of the fruit and is described as a very sweet kiwi with a watermelon texture. I personally think that this looks very appealing and sounds delicious. The majority of recipes surrounding and using dragon fruit are for drinks or savoury desserts. An example is pink dragon fruit soda or dragon fruit smoothie. These fruits originally came from Mexico but because of trade routes these fruits now grow in many hot tropical countries.
