The Dragon Fruit comes from Vietnam, China, Nicaragua and Israel. I ate it the first time in Vietnam and liked it very much. Almost every breakfast in Vietnam contained this fruit. Since that time, I saw it sometimes on buffets in Germany - mainly for decoration (I have to confess that I take always the decoration from a buffet - especially fruits). The "inside of the fruit" is grey-white and has a lot of black mini-cores. The pulp actually looks like the ice cream "Stracciatella" and is quite soft.
The fruit is quite rare in Germany because it is very sensitive. Therefore transport is not easy. The fruit is imported from Israel (July-December) and from Vietnam (June-September).
