dragonfruitCategory: food
Has anyone ever tried a dragon fruit. I could not get myself to spend the $6.50 but now I feel like I might have missed out on something magical.
These ones came from vietnam, but how crazy that is really native to central america and was brought to vietnam by the french.

The dragonfruit is native to Central America. According to Aztec literature, Pitahaya fruits date back to the 13th century. In Vietnam, where it is extensively grown, Pitaya fruit is known as thang loy. It is believed that the fruit was introduced to Vietnam by the French and today, the average yield per hectare is 20-25 tonnes.

I have had drinks that say they taste of dragon fruit, SOBE used to make a dragon fruit flavor with a dragon on the bottle. Often though juice and fruit don't taste the same, let alone some drink that claims the fruit..........

Its not a cactus pear. I and the tortoise love cactus pears, which are called prickly pears here. This is much bigger, more the size of a software, softer and the outside has layered leaves like it is the base of some sort of palm plant.

I have had this before (only it was not called dragonfruit). It looks like the cactus pear from Mexico. It's mildly sweet, doesn't really smell like a pear and rather pleasant. If it is indeed the cactus pear, these must be old ones; the skin is a lot more tighter in fresh "fruits".

its for exfoliation, if you have dry skin, scrub over slightly moist skin then rinse off and follow with a moisturizer after shower.
It at wegmans in the natures food section by the shampoos and stuff. Its $10 but I think from testing it that it seems like enough to last a long time.
I added cost, ingredients and instructions to the post.
Gets rid of rough skin and calluses? Some sort of exfoliation mix.
I recently got a cream made of 70% cocoa beans and cocoa butter. It smells like I have smeared chocolate all over. The trouble is I am now tempted more by the small chocolate pieces they have in the reception office of the department - especially this devious brand called butterfingers. I hope the office people keep thinking I have taken a shine to them and not the goodies in the bowl.
Where did you get this?? I want it too! How much is it?
