Fruit week- Dragon fruit

For this assignment I choose dragon fruit as my evaluation target. Dragon fruit in Chinese is “the fruit of fire dragon”. Maybe dragon fruit get this name because of its skin color and the overall shape which made it extremely similar to the fire ball in fairy tales. Dragon fruits likes hot area so it is basically live in the tropical area like southern china and Mexico.

If you cut it in to two part vertically. The inside is white color flesh that sprinkle with black sesame-like seeds. You can eat it with a spoon. It is really sweet in the center and it is getting less sweet and more sour taste when you getting closer to the skin.

There are lots of recipes relates to the dragon fruit. Personally my favorite is dragon fruit salad because you can make it looks fancy so easily and it taste better with other fruits. The natural shape of dragon fruit makes its skin a perfect container. Just easily cut it in half and use its skin as a bowl. Take out the eatable part and dice it to make little cubes. Then you can put it back into the “bowl” we mentioned earlier with other fruits. My personal suggest are the berries they looks absolutely beautiful and taste good. Other fruits will do as well it is really depends on your personal taste.
