picture of yellow dragon fruit


I came across a picture of dragon fruit that is yellow on the outside.
My previuos picture dragon fruit cut open (red on outside)

Apparently the Dragon fruit comes in a variety where it is red on the inside!! I've only had the one that is white on the inside. It is quite a refreshing fruit to eat - with a texture and consistency of a kiwi but without the sourness. A bit more on the bland taste palette.
Pitaya Fruit, Pitahaya Fruit are other names for the dragon fruit.

Dragon Fruit = strawberry pear

Dragon Fruit / Strawberry Pear
I had this fruit in Taiwan, just a few weeks ago, for the first time.


When you cut it open, it looks like a the inside of a "white" kiwi - it has lots of edible little seeds.

It also has the texture of the kiwi, but doesn't taste as acid.
I'm searching for this very very sweet fruit that I just had which is green on the outside with lots of irregular bumps on it and white on the inside with the taste of a super super sweet ripe banana with a hint of cantalope - it has septations which are easily separated with a dark black inedible seed in the middle of each section.
I'll keep searching, maybe I'll find this fruit online. Meanwhile, I was happy to come across this dragon fruit which comes from a cactus. So it's a cactus fruit! They now grow these in Taiwan - before it used to be imported only.
