Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit is a type of kiwi-like fruit. While kiwi fruits are green or golden, dragon fruits are white or red. Another popular name for the dragon fruit would be the pitaya. The Chinese call it fire dragon fruit, the huo long guo.

Like I what I mentioned earlier, the dragon fruit is a kiwi-like fruit because the flesh is similar to the kiwi fruit. The only difference would be that the dragon fruit is a whole lot bigger than kiwi fruit. If compared, dragon fruit is better tasting than kiwi fruit in my tasting opinion not to mention more fulfilling. However, it is a matter of preferences I guess.

To consume, just peel off the skin and you will get one whole edible flesh and seeds or to save time and make it easier, just use a knife to slice the fruit into half and use a spoon to dig out the flesh. Just like how you would eat a kiwi fruit.

There you have it. Dragon Fruit aka Pitaya. Enjoy your pitaya and be careful with the juice as it will stain your clothes. Eating dragon fruit would be quite a messy affair and colorful. Red in color that is.

Anyway, there is this Left Brain or Right Brain Test post previously to test whether you use more of the left side or the right side. (Some even commented that the picture is altered and that it is a trick to fool the eyes.) So, this is a personality test that determine which type of personality you have. It might be accurate and might be not but just give it a try for the fun of it. =p First of all, you will need to identify which side of the brain you use. This will be done in two parts and the combinati
