What if I ask you to choose one, only one woman in a party with the prettiest women in the world, would it be a easy task? No. That's how I describe the Fruit Hunting work. In the most beautiful section of the market, or grocery store, made buy fruits with different shapes, sizes and colors, how to choose the one, the most attractive, beautiful, and taste fruit. But as in that party, if you take too long to choose you end up been chosen, and that is what happened. After check one or two different markets with no successes, I was just shopping at Fresh.co on Dufferin and Dupont when I was hunted by the "dragon" the dragon fruit. The color and principally the shape make the name of fruit really appropriate and interesting but the main reason that the fruit was chosen, was the one that drove me puzzled: How was the inside, color and texture? How does it taste like?
Despite cultivated and imported from different parts of Asia the dragon fruit, also known as "pitaya", has its origin in Central America and was probably brought to the New World by the Europeans. Cultivated by Vietnam for over 100 years, just recently received the attention of farmers from different parts of the world, including; Israel, Australia and US. Its a fruit of the cactus species, tolerates poor soil conditions and temperature variations, the tropical climate is the best one to produce the fruit and the best season is summer and the early fall, but thanks to the off-season production technics it can be found almost throughout the whole year.
Due the high quantity of water, the sweet taste is light, but combined with its texture make the fruit very fresh, which certainly would be very appropriate for a drink or used fresh in a fruit salad (recipe for the salad. http://www.soberjulie.com/2014/05/dragon-fruit-salad-recipe/) on a hot summer day
Fruits are amazing, vitamin source they are very good for healthy and also taste pretty well with there natural sweetness. There are so many types, beautiful colors and shapes, and different taste. But
the good thing is that the difference of the fruits from the party with the prettiest women in earth is that we can try at least one every single day.
