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.
I still think the dragon fruit we get imported in the US can be pretty tasty. Not the same as when I had it in Taiwan, but still tasty.
Like you’re talking about, it’s the same with other imported fruits like mangos. To be honest, even fruits like strawberries are pretty bland when you get them in the supermarket, compared to fresh picked. But sometimes you just want to nom a whole thing of strawberries. It’s how I feel about dragon fruit.
You need to get them in countries that grow them. They are a little sweet and very juicy.
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
You need the red ones with the purple flesh, not the pink with white flesh. The red have much more flavor
I disagree. I’ve only ever had luck with the white ones.
Don’t know. I don’t think I have tried it.
Jesus, why the downvotes? Someone give this man a dragonfruit. So much for friendly, casual discussion
They are supposed to be a little sweet and not completely bland. It could be possible that yours wasn’t fully ripe, maybe.
A Kiwi is a bird
Apparently with a lot of flavor!
No, mostly feathers n’ bones.
Never eaten one =)
What “taste”? 🤣
I had no idea that they look like Oreo cookie ice cream on the inside! Now I really want to try one.
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.
Its fine. It tastes like under ripe lychee.
