One of my favourite parts of my permaculture course is being introduced to new food experiences. Today, the Pitaya or Pink Dragonfruit.
I’ve tried the white version before, but this was the pinkest fruit I have ever seen, more intensely coloured than a beetroot and with a milder sweetish, musky flavour. It grows not on a tree but on a cactus-like vine.
