Sometime ago, I had the chance of trying this fruit. It is known as dragon fruit. This weird-looking thing is a fruit that grows from a cactus. Well, one of the many types of fruits that come from cacti.
Even when the cactus is common around many regions of Venezuela, it isn't a common sight in fruit stands and other places. The kilogram of this fruit is around 9$. And that's a steep price. Not even apples which are amongst the most expensive item in the rubric are worth that much.
Anyhow, it is a thick skin and a really vibrant yellow hue. This is one of the variants. I know there's a violet one. I've been told that one is really sour. Perhaps even more than a lemon. In contrast, the yellow one has a mild sweet taste. To recall the flavor is tough, but it is a mix of grape, banana and something else in the mix. The seeds are non-digestible. They are cover is a substance very similar to to our nails. I guess that's how the plants assures it will grow in other places. However, they are not tough and can be grinded while chewing.
I don't know what's the exact way of eating this fruit, but I did it like you see on the photos. It was an interesting experience, but not one that is worth its price.
I wonder if this fruit is that expensive anywhere or if it is just a thing of the region. In the other hand, I bet it could taste nice along some other things in a smoothie.

La última foto dice mucho más que mil palabras jajajaja. No sé como hay gente que no le gusta mucho la Frita Dragón D: yo digo que es la mejor combinación que hay porque tiene la textura como de una uva y mezcla de sabores de otras frutas, además es bastante aesthetic.
Ja, ja, ja, ja. Lo aesthetic de una fruta que nace de un cactus no se puede negar. Sé que la roja es ácida de más. Del resto, esta me gusto, pero por el precio, no es algo que compraría muy seguido.
Totalmente, es de esos gustos que mejor es dárselos de vez en cuando porque te terminan desangrando el bolsillo :/
El bolsillo que ya tiene huecos, ja, ja, ja.
Lo he probado pero el rojo.... el que tiene piel como fucsia, me lo dio a probar mi jefe cuando trabajaba en la frutería. Fue genial probar frutas bien raras jajaja, abrazo!
Me llama la atención como para probarla pero a la vez no la veo muy apetitosa 🫣😵💫
Si te gustan las uvas, te va a gustar. Tiene un sabor parecido.
