August 23, 2008 at 11: 15 PM wandered across your site. yes, those are definitely dragonfruit. i grow them in the backyard, and i have to say that they do not at all taste like kiwi. not even close. of course the ones i grow don't taste nearly as good as the ones in asia. it's a refreshing, sweet sort of fruit. watery with a crunch like poppy seeds feel in your mouth.

True. You expect a shizoid fireburst and, well, it's juicy and a bit mealy and that's it. Still hellishly pink.
