On very rare occasions an odd looking item turns up in the supermarket Fruit and Vege section.

Turns out it's a Dragonfruit. I looked up what it was and how to eat it then laid down $8 to buy one! You eat it raw and they say it tastes like a cross between a pear and kiwifruit.
A bit bland really.


Yeah, the white dragonfruit is a bit bland I agree. If you can get the red dragonfruit that’s much better. Though, why they call it red when the flesh is purple I don’t know!

@JohnBrady Yes, I wouldn't buy again. And $8 for one fruit item was very steep! Still, now I've tried it… 😁

They are a spectacular looking fruit even if the taste is nothing exceptional! I've seen them growing here in Queensland. I quite like the taste but wouldn't pay $8 for them!!
