    I have never been fortunate enough to try a dragon fruit - Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are perhaps only available in Mexico and other Latin American countries where the growing conditions are ideal. In Europe, it will be exceedingly difficult to get a hold of a Dragon Fruit so perhaps suggesting an alternative would be a good idea? Thanks for the article.

    You guys always chose the most interesting fruits and recipes that I've ever seen! I've literally never seen this fruit in teh supermarkets, and I doubt that I'll even see it even after reading this, because we live in Alaska and it's really hard to get exotic fruits shipped up here before they rot. It was interesting to read about though!

    When I traveled to south America the people called it pitahaya or something like that instead of pitaya, that's an interesting fact, and well an interesting fruit too, full of properties and exotic taste, I have tried and is delicious but not so usual here
