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. http://www.baddog.com/images/forums/pitaya2.jpg |
