Driving back from the office today and stopping at my local Copps Supermarket on Century Ave in Middleton: just to be healthy, I enter in the produce section door. (Another choice is entering in close proximity of the liquor and ice cream section-not as healthy.) This is the first thing I see tucked on a shelf under the nectarines.
Dragon fruit! That one on the left looks like it could start start breathing fire!
I am no wimp when it comes to trying new foods or dining in ethnic restaurants of nearly any type. But I have never seen nor heard of this and I sure thought they were pretty cute.
I quickly found that About.com had a step by step illustrated piece on how to prepare and eat dragon fruit in the section regarding Thai cooking. It is even more intriguing looking on the inside and it goes well in a fruit salad or juicer or in smoothies. It would be quite dramatic for entertaining along with fresh pineapple, and maybe a mango and a star fruit-should be a real conversation starter (not that I worry too much about starting conversations!)
