Trying dragon fruit for the first time!
Perhaps some have already tried this fruit or for many it is quite common, for my part I can say that I had never seen this fruit in my country or at least where I live, it always caught my attention when I saw it on the internet because of its beautiful color and the cute shape it had, I always wondered what it tasted like.
According to what I've read, dragon fruit grows on a cactus, but it's a fruit that's especially popular in other countries, specifically Central America. Its appearance really fits its name, as it resembles a kind of dragon scales. It has a very pretty color on the outside, but inside it's even more beautiful and shiny. Some are white or bright pink. According to what I've read, this fruit is not only very pretty but also has many benefits for the body. In short, it's healthy and helps the digestive system and skin.
Today I went grocery shopping and my eyes lit up when I saw something new in the fruit section. There was dragon fruit, and it wasn't cheap at all, but we really wanted to try it. A kilo of this fruit was $8. I grabbed a single one that weighed half a kilo, so I paid $4 for it. I don't really know what it costs in other countries, but here paying $4 for a single piece of fruit is crazy, especially with the country's economic situation, which is getting worse every day.
And when I got home, everyone was absolutely crazy about trying it, even my cat, who literally became obsessed with it. He wanted to eat the outside of the fruit, but I didn't know if it was possible. I was afraid it was toxic to cats or something, but I did some research online and saw that it's not harmful and they can even eat the flesh. So I gave him a little to try too.
But before giving it to him, he harassed me very hard, I even took some photos where he appears in the background looking at me angrily hahahaha.
When I opened the fruit, the color mesmerized me, and it stained so much that my hands are still pink. My son tried it and loved it so much that he practically ate most of it himself. He looked really funny eating it because it felt like he was eating a brain, haha. The fruit oozed juice, and he got it all over his mouth, hands, and chest.
The flavor is sweet and reminds me a bit of kiwi, it also tastes similar to pear but quite mild, I really thought it was a sour fruit or something like that, I was quite surprised by how sweet it is, although it is not a very extravagant flavor as I imagined, I quite liked it because of how beautiful it is and I will always be impressed by the wonders of nature.
Your cat sounds just as curious as we all are when trying something new 😺
Yep! 😁
