Coming from a family of Mexican immigrants to the US (incidentally also from the state of Jalisco), it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly hard working they are. But unlike the typically “soulless” work ethic of places like the US or Japan, Mexicans typically have an immense amount of pride in whatever work they do. Whether it’s a young artist painting handmade crafts or a smiling grandmother selling bowls of fruit, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who is just “getting through the day”. Not to say they’re living handsomely, far from it. But what I’ve gathered from my family at least is, if you work hard and put your heart into it, anything is possible.

Pitaya = Mexican Dragon Fruit!!! But the Dragon Fruit was originated from Mexico. Two decades+ ago, I read a small book in Vietnam and learnt that the French, during the colonial days, had imported the Dragon Fruit from Mexico to Vietnam. Something happened in Vietnam, whether it was the weather (humidity) or the soil, and it became a big hit and different from its counterparts in Mexico. The name Dragon Fruit came from the Vietnamese name "Thanh Long" or "Green Dragon", probably based on the shape of the leaves. When I told my sister about the French import, she was like "Oh, the Vietnamese propaganda makes it like Vietnam gave birth to this fruit!". Anyway, the fruit is so popular that it spreads to neighboring countries and then America. And now Mexico bases, at least in this video, its pitaya on the Dragon Fruit standard. Happy Green Dragon!

As one of the few people who grow Pitayas in the US, I can definitely say that it is the fruit of the gods, you'll never find another flavor like it. Some are more tart, some have a floral sweetness to them, some are more intensely fruity, and some can even be as sweet as sugarcane. The different colors have different flavors, and its mind boggling to see the rainbows of different colors once they all ripen. Their best flavor is when theyre fresh off the cactus, and if you dont live in jalisco the only way to get that is to grow them yourself.

So damn blessed to have my family originate from where these are grown. Anytime we go it’s during pitaya season. My mom would mash some up and serve it with vanilla ice cream sometimes. So amazing.

BCS Mèxico se venden en los pueblos ,en las fruterias ,en aguas frescas , en nieves ,en la carretera te puedes bajar y buscar tus propias pitayas,son deliciosas mas si se comen frias son un manjar.

I absolutely love these. I would eat buckets of them when i would go to Mexico to visit my grandparents. I recently found some today at a mexican farmer's market and paid $20 for 3 pounds. So worth every single cent.

The so called (dragon fruit ) is originally from Mexico and Central America then introduced to South East Asia by the spanish. Its name is Pitahaya , and these in the video are pitayas, they are just two of the many Cactus fruits that grow wild in Mexico usually south of the Tropic of Cancer. Who knows what idiot gave them the name (DRAGON fruit)

You can also find them in puebla, and while the heat does damage the fruit, u can maintain it in the fridge for varius days with out any problem and they are even more delicious.

I might have had these before. Worked at a Mexican restaurant, and the cooks would order special fruits to snack. They were purple like some of these, but the shape was a little different. Definitely one of the best tasting fruits I've ever had, despite having to spit the seeds.

Probably a tuna (lol not actually fish but it's what we call it 🤷🏾♀️). Not the same as the two mentioned in this video, as I'm beginning to learn lol. I'd love to try these!

You had a tuna, or prickly pear. The ones grown. in Cali are good but not nearly as good as the ones grown in Mexican soil.

Reading one of the comments below. We often criticize and judge our people back home for what they wear or what they eat. Born in Mexico, living in the U.S lately I have been interested in investing back home I will just say no regrets the profit on Maguey and meat are insane. If you see a person with a heard of 100 or more sheep. He is making a year more than a person working at Wal mart and does not have to look at the clock 20 times a day.

Bro, this fruit exsist in Eritrea. Do you know how I know. I used to eat them all the time there. They were so cheap there. In matter of fact you could even pluck them by yourself. This fruit is the best tasteting fruit ever, it’s so sweet but not in a bad way. Which makes them so addicting.

There’s been organ pipes in my parents yard for the last 30 years and I always see these things on them but never knew there was fruit in them. I just thought they were small cacti or more arms growing. They’re tall plants too. Like 15 feet tall.
