An exotic fruit that knocks you off your feet. Absolutely fantastic.
Verified Buyer (DE)

An ancient cactus fruit from the tropics: red pitaya has long been treasured for its vibrant color and refreshing taste

Slice it open and reveal a burst of deep crimson: refreshing flesh with subtle earthy notes.

Its deep crimson colour comes from betalains: naturally occurring plant pigments also found in beetroot.

How To Eat & Store

Step 1 - Delivered ripe

Dragon fruit is picked when fully ripe and delivered to you ready to eat.

Step 2 - Cut in half

Its tiny seeds are edible and add a pleasant crunch.

Or open it like a banana

Make four vertical cuts in the skin to open it up and eat it just like a banana.

Or cut it into pieces

Into cubes or quarters, and eat it with a fork or just with your fingers.

Step 4 – Refrigerate and enjoy quickly

Store in the refrigerator upon arrival and enjoy within 4–5 days.

Taste Profile

Red dragon fruit is denser and more grounded than its yellow cousin, with firm yet silky flesh, a mild earthy sweetness, and almost no tartness. Tiny black seeds add a delicate crunch, while its moderate juiciness creates an experience that is as visual as it is flavorful.

Description

Red dragon fruit: the most beautiful fruit you can eat

This is not the pale pink fleshed dragon fruit commonly found in supermarkets. Red pitaya (Hylocereus costaricensis) is something entirely different: deep crimson flesh, striking natural colour, and a rich earthy sweetness with far more depth than the common variety.

Originally native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, red pitaya is an ancient cactus fruit that thrives in hot sun drenched climates. Our fruits are carefully sourced from selected tropical growers who cultivate dragon fruit with minimal intervention, allowing the cactus to flourish naturally in rocky mineral rich soil under intense tropical sun.

Slice it open. Experience the colour. Enoy its refreshing flesh.

dragon fruit
So overall, the fruit is top of 2 pieces was already a bit bad I had to cut away.
Taste great but maybe also
due to the fact that the fruit was delivered two days later as announced despite express delivery
