White Dragon Fruit

White Dragon fruit has a moderate, somewhat sweet flavour that tastes like a cross between a pear and watermelon, with the consistency of a kiwi. Due to the many microscopic seeds scattered throughout the pulp, the texture is soft, juicy and somewhat crunchy. Also, dragon fruit contains very little cholesterol, so the body can break down the fruit quickly to keep you happy and healthy. It is the ideal fruit to keep your weight under control while satisfying your craving for sweets.

STORAGE

If you store your dragon fruit in the refrigerator, it will keep for about 2-3 weeks. On the other hand, at room temperature, they will only keep for 2-3 days. Also, cut them only if you want to eat them immediately.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Did you know that dragon fruit juice is an effective treatment for coloured hair. You can protect your chemically treated or coloured hair by simply applying dragon fruit juice or a dragon fruit conditioner to your scalp. This will keep your hair follicles open so they can breathe and stay healthy and silky. This fruit is also great for treating acne. Make a paste from a slice of dragon fruit and apply it to the reddened areas on your face or skin before rinsing it off with water. Apply the paste twice a day for optimal effect.
