Frieda's Dragon FruitFrieda's Dragon FruitA hot pink blowfish? A neon hand grenade? An exotic cactus fruit that gets its fabled name from the green tipped "scales" on its skin, the Dragon Fruit is also known as the Strawberry Pear or Pithaya. It has a sweet, juicy-crisp texture and fragrant flavors of pear, kiwi and watermelon. The flesh ranges in color from a bright white to a deep magenta and is spotted with tiny black edible seeds that add to its unique texture. This fabulous fruit is native to Mexico and Central America, but is also cultivated in Southeast Asia and California. The Dragon Fruit grows within stunning large white flowers, called Moon Flowers because they only bloom at night, causing many growers to hand-pollinate the vines under moonlit skies. Chefs rave about the Dragon Fruit, saying its mellow flavor acts as a neutralizer by softening the sharpness of pineapple and onion in chutneys, fruit salsas and sauces. One slice on a small plate can be used as the ultimate cool palate cleanser between courses. Blend with other unique fruits such as pomelo and green papaya to create a beautiful salad with lamb or fish.
