Dragon Fruit: A Fruit With A Future

摘要

If there is one thing the dragon fruit has mastered, it's the art of the Hollywood entrance. Dragon fruit, a current darling, is popping up all over the place, including in teas.It's not uncommon to hear a chorus of beguiled gasps when a dragon fruit — also known as pitaya or pitahaya — is placed in front of an audience. From the outside the fruit looks like a hot pink bulb ringed with a jester's crown of curly greenish petals. Slice it open, and there's a white (or, on rare occasions, fuchsia) scoop of sweet pulp speckled with tiny black seeds. Either way, it suggests an Easter bonnet that Cruella de Vil might wear in a drag remake of "101 Dalmatians," or an Italian.ice meant to be spooned up for space freaks in the cantina scene in "Star Wars."
