Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, has a mildly sweet flavor when ripe, often described as a blend of pear and kiwi, with a soft texture similar to a ripe kiwi. Under-ripe dragon fruit, on the other hand, is basically flavorless. Some people also describe the taste as having a touch of citrus. The fruit has tiny, edible black seeds like kiwi seeds. The taste of dragon fruit can vary depending on the variety and conditions grown. Overall, dragon fruit is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a healthy addition to your diet.
