Ohhh white dragon fruit is so good! It has a texture and mouth feel just like a kiwi but the taste of a green melon or a young watermelon!

[@AzureKite191]

Yellow dragon fruit is the sweetest and taste like candy

[@lifewithjgee]

I loooove dragon fruit! Glad they're in season now

[@SalemSphynx]

I'm about to slice open the 2nd type you showed (from grocery store) to try for 1st time so thanks for your video! And hope your friends farm is still in biz as my Mom just moved to southern FL so will let her know to check them out! Thanks😊

[@thizizliz]

Thank you! I'll give them a try.

[@BruceBanner]

I live near Oakland, California and have over 20 dragon fruits sprouting out real fast.

[@daina1A]

Thank you. Earlier I was always hesitant to buy one, but now I feel pretty confident. Thank u so much. You were quite informative!

[@LoneWolf-og3wq]

Just used this video to choose my first dragon fruit. Thanks, I got a good one.

[@trywait1979]

My house has them growing in the front yard, I wasn't sure when to pick then. Some people say their aren't that great but I just ate one fresh and it's almost identical to the taste of Kiwi but more sweeter and less tangy.

[@jasonspinks1543]

Bro its all on how they are grown store bought are shit homegrown is best i grow 45 dif fruits in my backyard i live in north port florida

[@FeonaLeeJones]

My favorite part is actually because they are pink. I love mixing it in my oatmeal in my yogurt and then it feels like I’m eating pink yogurt!

[@452trucker]

Thank you so much for your videos. I had watched this one several days ago. Today I saw my very first Dragon fruit at Festival Foods in Marshfield, WI. Because of the tips you gave about selection, I had no problem picking just the right one. It is tasty with it's white center.

[@hellotomato1291]

In Viet Nam they are very common, espeacialy in Binh Thuan province where you can see them everywhere and Binh Thuan is the most place dragon fruit can be grown very well. Moreover we also have blue fleshed and yellow peel but they are not too common. :))

[@justme-og5xc]

They're so psychedelic looking. Nice vid, thanks for sharing.

[@toddzboray2379]

easy to grow in socal. mine just bloomed about 30 days ago and waiting for the red before picking.

[@1771Laura]

Also, just want to say...thank you, Mr. Produce Guy, for all your hard work, time and efforts in teaching us all about the various produce out there. I've watched your video after video after video this morning- all interesting! Ha, yes, a lot of unregretable time spent here but I must go feed my hubby breakfast now. I'm new...I've subscribed too! Just thought a big THANKS was in order seeing all I've learned from you already. Btw, hubby & I are into juicing (watched Joe Cross's 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' documentary; hubby's a diabetic; juicing has helped decrease his insulin shots- Amazing!) so the knowledge I've gained from you WILL GO A LONG WAYS! So thanks very much, Mr. Produce Guy!!😉

[@larssonk22]

I don't know how I found myself on this channel but it's so compelling to watch, I can't stop!

[@singngurli4jc]

It looks like delicious vanilla bean ice cream! Yum! Wish I could try it... I've never seen them here in California.

[@blueblue8650]

Thank you ! I was given a couple of them today but didn´t know how to eat it (not even its name). Thanks.

[@fabforceone]

I really like Dragon Fruit. I prefer the red fleshed one more. Especially when using them in a smoothie. But since our frutique burnt down we can only get what the grocery store brings in and that is the white flesh fruit.

[@kirbyfan107]

I am most likely going to try a Dragon Fruit within the next couple of days. There are not a lot in my area; so I am excited to try them for the first time!

[@freezingmoon5663]

More like A Most Nice Guy! I love your videos!

[@LikodsaPayag]

wow' this is the other dragon fruit variety, so yummy & delicious, thanks for sharing mah friend :)

[@cbwinning]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Thank you for the useful information

[@jbowen828]

Thank you for your videos. I always search you when I'm curious about a fruit or vegetable. I'm definitely going to order some dragonfruit from this farm. My HEB grocery doesn't have it. Have you done a video on jackfruit ?

[@lodunost]

Ah a Texan, They should sell DRAGON Fruit in most of the Central Texas stores. I am a native and recently moved to philly. I have my mother ship me some along with big red which is scarce here in Philly. So if your near the Baylor or Temple Texas HEB they should have them. Not sure about Harker Heights or Killeen stores. Good luck on your searches.

[@shinigglory3689]

Thanks ❤❤

[@NickSuda]

Hi Produce Guy! I just moved into a house that had a fig tree. They're coming off the tree looking great, but we don't have any idea what to so with them! Can you make an episode on figs, please?

[@YourProduceGuy]

I can and would love to, but not sure I can get to it in time for your use this season. I love figs...SO MUCH!! We had a tree in our backyard in CA when I was growing up and they were just delightful. So good right off the tree and of course they are great as a dried fruit.

[@masonneal1654]

Preserves are always a good route

[@d.a.pvsdonblvd2552]

Make a pie... or pies and start selling them.

[@RealWolfFlow21]

What a problem lmao

[@kristinmcnally7215]

Hi Produce Guy. My question regards to how dragon fruit can effect my blood glucose levels. I'm a type 2 diabetic and am learning my way around food. Thanks.

[@Mercymurv]

Some reason the yellow dragon fruit is always so much sweeter than the other varieties, when I go shopping.

[@nagwagi2000]

Great vids Mr ProduceGuy....u have very telegenic hands by the way. :)

[@angelcake7077]

You tha real MVP

[@maibammomon2280]

THIS IS THE COOLEST FRUIT

[@bearpawz_]

Oh wow. Now THAT is a beautiful fruit! ♡ I realize you can eat it as is, but I looked up some recipes and found so many. :-O One picture showed perfectly cut squares of dragon fruit and kiwi on skewers made into fruit kabobs. Another was of a dragon fruit sorbet, served in the pretty red hollowed out halves. Yum. You've got a great friend down there in Homestead, Florida, our Produce Guy! :0)

[@babyg220]

so basically, once you buy one at the store they are ready to eat once you get home? no waiting?

[@tigeabenton2174]

That’s a good question

[@RobHeathers]

By the way, dragonfruit is amazing dehydrated into a fruit jerky.

[@SolidGoldShows]

The RED ones taste really good. I want to try the yellow ones soon. I might do a video soon

[@kamalnayansharma5152]

I love dragon fruit and good for health

[@blakebendele7064]

I ordered some on eBay 👍🔥

[@JoshTobaquero]

Hi, i wanted to ask you because you seem like you’d know, if the white fruit in the dragon fruit looks like an orange/brownish color is faded into the white flesh, is that just over ripeness or fungus? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@lilmik83]

I got a pink one and it’s tastes like cotton candy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@loubuggamI]

I was wondering if you have ever come across the paw paw and if you would consider doing a video on the fruit...

[@Da_RatRacer4251]

+YourProduceGuy Can you please do a When Is It Ripe video on pears? 🍐

[@KnightTimeLuigi1397]

I just started eating dragon fruit, how often should it be eaten, and how much?

[@TheNerdyPunk]

does the white one taste different from the pink one?

[@LifeLostSoul]

Is this all the same for picking a ripe white dragon fruit?

[@BrentLane1]

Just tried one and it had zero taste, it cut very easily and was soft so I’m assuming it was ripe enough. Is there a better time to try it?

[@jasonluke4398]

He said there's only 3 types of dragon fruit, but there are many more varieties, purple and so , some have different outer skins

[@ricksanchez9522]

is the red fleshed one sweeter than the white flesh?

[@BlackCat_2]

I like Dragon Fruit a lot. Not sure if it is because I like dragons or the fruit - perhaps a little of both. :p I would have to check out their growing practices before I ordered anything. They sound a lot like the prickly pears that grow wild all around me. Maybe I should just try to grow my own dragon fruit. - Heidi

[@k.b.392]

Looking to buy guanabana (sour sop). Do you know where to find...??

What's the taste difference between the white flesh fruit and the red flesh fruit?

[@CardSharkTrades]

Hey I was wondering for your next "when is it ripe" videos if you could do Durian fruit

[@YourProduceGuy]

That would be a challenge at the moment as I don't have a source for a fresh one. Honesty, I have never worked with them and in fact saw them fresh on our trip to the Philippines in March but never got the courage up to try one. Funny thing, if you check out the photo section on the Facebook page, you can see a sign on the door of our hotel room that said "no pets or durian fruit allowed in the room." So, that was fun. I will see what I can do.

I bought the white one a few days ago. My first ever dragon fruit.

I'll use it in a smoothie once I get some more ingredients.
