Why is this thing so disappointing? I just picked one up today because it was "weird and exotic" so I was like why the fuck not it'll probably taste interesting too, but all it tasted like was a depressed kiwi. This shit tasted like a fruit that shouldn't be, like it never tried. Why was this the only exotic fruit they provided and who in their right mind would actually buy this besides as a product of impulse and curiosity

I soaked it in sugar, salt, and lime after one bite of it and it did taste much better like that so there's I guess some hope for it but I would rather just buy a kiwi

What the fuck did you expect from a cactus?

Dragon Fruit is the only fruit I'm allergic too. It's delicious but it fucks my shit up so I can't consume it. How I got allergic to a rare fruit I have no fucking idea.

They're refreshing if they're cold and it's hot outside, I don't mind them in that situation. But the purple ones are sweeter and have more flavor in my experience.

Maybe your immune system thinks things that look like cactus pollen are deadly invaders?

Honey/Ataulfo mangoes are better, try to get these if you can. They have less fibers.

I like them, they've got a great texture, but for the price they're definitely a bit disappointing.

Closer to a crisp, but not sweet apple or pear. Someone should have told you to temper expectations.

Get the yellow ones, they're delicious and very sweet. I've had the red ones and found them pretty bland.

I don't like the short crispy ones. Try a tall persimmon. Wait until it's super soft. It won't blow you away, but it's enjoyable.

Your mistake was buying the white-fleshed ones. Bland as anything. If you can find the red-fleshed dragonfruit, they're worth the buy, sweet and a little tart and delicious.
