It's dragon fruit (pitaya) season here in southern MX and they are delicious. One of my favorite fruits. The taste is light but not at all like water, it is refreshing, not too sweet. I just cut them in half and eat them with a spoon but you can peel them or use them in smoothies. The ones grown here have a white flesh but a little father south they have a burgundy flesh and even farther there are some with a lighter color, they all taste very similar. We get the Costa Rican - purple flesh - here as imports and the white are easy to grow and sold everywhere. Here's a pic of some in the market.

and a link to a pic of one cut open.
