Dragonfruit



Dragonfruit is naturally this wild, magenta color; there's no dye here! Its taste is mild, kind of like kiwi. One of the fun things about working at an organic produce distributor is always getting to taste and see unusual produce. Some things, like sapote, lychees and dragonfruit, come and go so quickly. Dragonfruit is covered with spiky petal-scales like an artichoke, green and hot pink, and when you but it open, it's soft pink or lavender-rose inside, with tiny black seeds.
