Exploring the Vibrant Colors and Contrasting Flesh of Dragon Fruit Varieties
The knife color did a little bit it's a classic white color we're now
slicing into Vietnam white assuming oh yeah it's definitely white in there I may have colored it with my knife a little bit but rest assured if we wipe that away and it's full white on the inside next one of my favorites and the one I'm most excited to taste Ecuador flora this is the yellow dragon fruit a little bit harder to cut into the seeds look very very large but it has a bright bright white interior super excited to try this one finally we have our Big Kahuna red laverne and has expected a very very stark sort of blood ish purple red on this one beautiful color so the delight kind of looks like a standard dragon fruit with the white interior and the beautiful sort of neon pinkish reddish exterior the Ecuador Paloma of course is the most unique one by far it's got that larger seed you can see and also a white flesh and then that beautiful yellow skin red Luverne the largest one that you guys saw definitely has the most striking interior with this hot pink neon and tons and tons of seeds and just a lot of flesh relative to the skin then we get over to Physical Graffiti which is drastically the darkest and most blood-red it's almost hard to even see the seeds in here because it's so ho stark and so vibrant Lee red so excited about that one sugar dragon has the large seeds of the Ecuador Paloma over here but of course it's much smaller and it has closer to this red Luverne neon then Vietnam white it's hard to tell .Because I think I knife did color some of the exterior here but it is a white flushed variety that's more of a classic dragon fruit lung here we are folks.
The moment of truth Ecuador Paloma delight red Luverne Physical Graffiti Vietnam white and sugar dragon let's go ahead and get to tasting alright here we are I'm super excited the first one I think I'm gonna start with is Vietnam white because that's the most common this is probably the one you see at the grocery store if you're lucky enough to have one at your grocery store now texted me what all these are supposed to
taste like so I'm gonna see if they match his article and then of course which one is my actual favorite so starting with Vietnam white and remember before you eat dragon fruit it's a really good idea to put them in the fridge and chill them because if you don't the flavor just isn't quite there okay Vietnam white is supposed to taste like a straight-up Kiwi so let's go ahead and take a chunk out of it yep I get that Kiwi vibe I definitely
get the Kiwi vibe it is very mild it is that classic dragon fruit where it's not necessarily watered-down but it is a light sort of tropical refreshing flavor so that was Vietnam white the next one we're gonna go to I think delight and the reason why I'm going to delight is because this is the whitest flesh this is the second whitest flesh besides the yellow but the yells kind of a special one so we're saving that one for last the light is supposed to taste like a melon so kind of similar to that Kiwi.
Taste Experiences: From Refreshing Melon to Candy-Like Berries and Sweet Honey
we'll see if it matches that is actually way more like a melon it has more of that rindy type of flavor to it and it's a little bit less sweet but almost more like refreshing and crisp I would say and I'm definitely not a taste test act for so please take it for what it's worth okay the next one I think we're gonna do is sugar dragon that's the smallest one right here and that's the one that Richard says tastes like berries so kind of a mixing up from the melon and the Kiwi so let's see if this tastes like berries dude it totally does Wow it tastes like gum what is that candy there's those candies with the black balls and the red balls around them like the raspberry blackberry candies that you buy in those bags it has that type of vibe to it but it's like a lighter flavor again it's a little bit more mild but that's actually go for it it totally tastes like that candy about used to eat those all time now we're moving into the darker fleshed varieties I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go with red Luverne first the red Luverne is supposed to taste like a grape flavored watermelon let's go ahead and check it out look at the color on that that's crazy-looking ooh they're kind of like pops forward let me go only go in with another that kind of pops forward in your mouth then it does have that great vibe to it it does taste like if you took grape juice and put it into the watermelon rind like people will put like vodka or whatever into watermelon it tastes like if you put some extra grape juice in watermelon and then took a melon baller it like took scoops of it's kind of what that tastes like okay finally before we get to the final final is Physical Graffiti the coolest name and also the darkest fleshed variety it's extremely dark looks kind of like a beet with seeds in it this one is supposed to taste like kiwi and grapes as more Hardy flesh is more like really like you're biting into something substantial yeah that's a very mild flavor it is less sweet I would say then the sugar dragon the red Luverne and the delight it might kind of match the Vietnam white as far as its level of Sweetness straight out of the gate now we're on to the final one which is actually the one I'm most excited about Equador PO Laura as you can see I've kept all the skin in each of these and so this as you know is the yellow one this is the one with the largest seeds and it also has very very white flesh so large seeds white flesh certainly a unique one Richard says Ecuador Peru Laura tastes like sugar cubes or honey so far different from all the other ones and I've heard from my reports as well that this is the sweetest dragon fruit variety as a yellow varieties let's go ahead and find out oh my god I would say that's at least five times sweeter than anything elseit's on this entire table right here and the seeds aren't as crunchy they're sort of like they they have this they're crunchy but they're like kind of like they have a chewiness to them as well that totally does taste like it's very rich honey like a thick natural honey type of flavor it's not very fruity it's way more like straight sugar.
