Chan – If I discover some way of being able to tell what color the flesh will be inside, I’ll let you know. I am also keenly interested in trying the one that is yellow outside and white inside. Fun stuff!

Hi, your blog is great, I’m a regular visitor since a friend showed it to me.

Your impressions about it are very similar to mine.
I have tried a white-fleshed Pitaya once and I didn’t liked it, the flavor is too “green” and the texture is too slimy, but I took several pictures of this amazing looking fruit.
After I complained about it to a friend, he told me that the red-fleshed Pitayas are sweeter and tastes a lot better than the white ones. But you almost can’t tell if is a red or white Pitaya from the outside, so I just have given up on this overcomplicated fruit.

I just returned from two years in China where I ate dragon fruit several times. To me the fruit has a taste of honey, but it is a faint taste of honey. The real reason to buy the fruit is because it is so pretty! By the way, one of the expat grocery stores in Shanghai calls this a Fire Dragon Fruit which is the English translation of the Chinese name (huǒlóngguǒ).
