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.

It looks and sounds so much more interesting than it really is.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

It really does.

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

I find it fairly tasteless and excessively seedy. Boyo adores it pan grilled. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

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

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'm hoping to collect them all one day.

I think your description is apt.

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.
