Hey peeps, the dragonfruit I had tasted in-between a watermelon and cantaloupe, while the texture reminded me of a Kiwi fruit, and they charge $60 TTD per pound for the fruit at the time of this recording. You can always check their Facebook page or call them to find out more (all info in the description above)

[@mishong3]

Visited the Pioneer Dragon Fruit farm today so got to taste the fruit and bought some. It did have a nice juicy taste to it, very subtle taste between a cantaloupe and slight kiwi , but I liked it.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Thank you and yes you won’t regret visiting next time you’re home

[@durgabhawanee9957]

Really great to see the farmers in Trinidad experimenting and finding ways to cultivate different kinds of crops. Fruits are full of fiber, vitamin C, and rich sources of antioxidants which protect us from free radical damage. Eating fruits is on excellent way to boost your immune system. Eat the locally grown food, and support these hard working farmers. I admire dedicated people like Mr. Anand who has not given up during these difficult times. God bless this man and others like him.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Indeed and it also helps that this particular one is delicious, I cannot express this enough, lol

[@durgabhawanee9957]

@@TrinbagoVibes One reason for the noticeable difference in taste is because the ones in the grocery stores are picked long before they are ripened. They do this in order to extend its shelf life. Even the fruits in the grocery stores that look ripe are not ripened on the tree or plant on which they grew. The nutrients and flavors are not fully developed, and will not be as delicious as those allowed to mature and ripened on the plant. People in T&T should support their local farmers. The food grown locally is better quality, unless farmers are using harmful chemicals and man made fertilizers.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

@@durgabhawanee9957 agreed we have to support our local farmers, and this fruit is not like paw paw or mango in that even when picked it will get ripe, it’s process stops at the time it is picked to extend shelf life as you mentioned.

Dragonfruit is expensive in the L.A. groceries...except if you shop in Chinatown. After watching you eat the dragonfruit right off the tree, I suddenly feel like eating some dragonfruit. You could do a tamarind video some day.😙

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Tamarind sounds like a plan 😁

[@shqa574]

@@TrinbagoVibes You could do all the items made from tamarind...sauce, chutney, drink, ball, jam, ice cream (...?) I am sure Trinis have been inventive with the fruit. I noticed tamarind sauce used in many of the Trini food videos. We never ate tamarind sauce with our food. My Mom cooking skills were diverse; Chinese, Indian, Trini, English, American, Guyanese Pepperpot, Spagetti and Spanish Rice. She didn't know anything about Japanese or French food.

[@mishong3]

Visited the Pioneeer’s Dragon Fruit farm today and it was awesome to see so many trees. Our guide, Mr. John took us around and we learnt how it grows and even got a taste. It has a very subtle taste not bad at all, like a mix between a cantaloupe and slight kiwi; bought some as well.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Nice, yeah got that kiwi and almost pear/ cantaloupe taste, and Mr. John is a boss

[@poolmattysooknanan867]

If it’s the white one on the inside, it will be bland..at least from my experience when I tried it in Canada, if you can get the yellow or red one (on the inside) then it will be sweet, in terms of ripeness you won’t know unless you pick it, once picked it will not get ripen further…hope this helps
