The yellow one is a bit tangy in flavor to me, and my favorite. Yes Dragon fruit pancake, with a little bit of passion fruit in the mix, just give it a try. I almost want to call it the miracle fruit to Moringa but Moringa has 18 out of 20 nutrition values. The cactus' family is full of health peeps!!!

It grows wild in Trelawny and my grandma used to cook the stem just before it flower. She called it wild okra. We didn't eat the fruit. It was very tasty and slippery just as the Okra. It actually runs like a vine on other nearby trees. Just don't know why grandma didn't let us eat the fruit. I have eaten the fruit in England.

Hey Wesley...thanks for another gem. I recall seeing dragon-fruit in Jamaica waaaay back when I was a child visiting my grandparents. It wasn't until I traveled to Thailand that I tried it. I didn't like it at all 🤢. I don't like the texture and I found it rather lacking in any particular flavor. However it can stewed and made into a delicious jam. But as with all jams, a lot of sugar has to be added. The color is so vibrant...Dragon-fruit purple ❤️. Jamaica is indeed the capitol of the universe (as one of your interviewee once stated)...at least agriculturally. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️ Wesley mi like di likkle clip of you and fam watching World Championships.

I’ve tasted those fruits but I’ve never tasted any that was sweet, they all seem very bland but I believe it’s because they’re picked very early for shipping so the fruit doesn’t get to ripe properly. I would love to try the purple variety off the plant because the purple ones are actually sweeter than the white variety from my experience.

I grew up in rural-rural St Ann, Jamaica. It grows wild in the bushes but we were afraid of it. Didn’t know it could be eaten. Impressive, Sheldon!

Thanks for the information. I have a plant now for two years, flowers but no fruits. I need to know more. Thanks. I am encouraged to do some more research and grow them the right way.

This fruit is good for gutt health. It takes no time for u to go the bathroom. I eat it almost everyday. The yellow skin one is very sweet. I use the one with red inside in lemon aid. The taste is real good. Love this fruit.
