DRAGON FRUIT
- Dragon fruit grows on the Hylocereus cactus, also called Honolulu Queen, whose flowers only open at night. It’s native to Mexico and Central America.
- Dragon fruit flesh is mildly sweet and juicy, tasting like a cross between a kiwi and a pear. The flesh can be translucent white, hot pink, or deep purple, and contains tiny, crunchy, black seeds.
- Fun fact: Dragon fruit is actually a member of the cactus family! But don’t worry – we remove the thorns before we bring the fruit to you!
