I just had one and was incredibly disappointed it just tasted like a kiwi without any flavor.

They only taste good when eaten close to where they grow. Probably within hours or very few days of picking them ripe from the plant.

The Taste is 100% different.

Surprisingly this is also a bit the case with bananas. But the export bananas at least taste ok in their different way. Exported Dragonfuit however taste like nothing and are only bought to look exotic but definitely not worth the taste.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

They are supposed to be a little sweet and not completely bland. It could be possible that yours wasn't fully ripe, maybe.

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You need the red ones with the purple flesh, not the pink with white flesh. The red have much more flavor

[–] tributarium@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I disagree. I've only ever had luck with the white ones.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't know. I don't think I have tried it.

[–] tributarium@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Jesus, why the downvotes? Someone give this man a dragonfruit. So much for friendly, casual discussion

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A Kiwi is a bird

[–] Sakychu@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Apparently with a lot of flavor!

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Never eaten one =)

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

No, mostly feathers n' bones.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You need to get them in countries that grow them. They are a little sweet and very juicy.

[–] tributarium@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I've done this and still only gotten lucky like 1/20th of the time. Very hard to tell when they're ripe and flavourful

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I had no idea that they look like Oreo cookie ice cream on the inside! Now I really want to try one.

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 1 points 8 months ago

Dragon Fruit is disappointing. Everything about it visually makes it look like it has this strong amazing taste, but it's pretty bland in flavour for a fruit.
