Dragonfruit

In Singapore for a few days of R&R! Although I do not usually take photos of food, I could not resist the colour of these yummy fruit! And they are yummy!

Thank you for all your kind comments on my last few photos- I will catch up as soon as I can!!

More info if you are interested:

"Pitahaya" or "Dragonfruit" always refers to fruit of the genus Hylocereus.

Hylocereus blooms only at night; the large white fragrant flowers of the typical cactus flower shape are among those called "moonflower" or "Queen of the Night". Sweet pitahayas have a creamy pulp and a delicate aroma. It is also grown as an Ornamental plant, used in gardens as a flowering vine and a house plant indoors.

The fruit's texture is sometimes likened to that of the kiwifruit because of its black, crunchy seeds. The flesh, which is eaten raw, is mildly sweet and low in calories. The seeds are eaten together with the flesh, have a nutty taste and are rich in lipids, but they are indigestible unless chewed.
