Dragon Fruit (Pitaya Fruit)

 Looks like a dragon's head, it is tuberous and firm. Rather looks like an ugly fish......

 Dragon Fruit is grown in Southeast Asia, Mexico and South and Central America, plus Israel. It is actually a type of cactus and comes in various colours. The fruit offers lots of nutrients, like Vitamin C, Phosphorus, calcium, fibre,  and antioxidants.

Thr fruit tastes a little bland, I thought, kind of like an underripe pear, but would be nice with something more tart. Not my favourite fruit, but thought it would be good to try it at least once. It was about $4.00 for one Dragonfruit, so is extremely dear. It can be made into a sorbet, if you have the time and patience.

DRAGONFRUIT SORBET: 4 ripe dragon fruit,3/4 cup cold water,2 tablespoons lemon juice,4 tablespoons sugar.  Puree all together and freeze in ice cream maker or in freezer.
