Pitaya - the dragon fruit
Even I didn't know what Pitaya was until 2 days ago. It was wikipedia which helped me figure out that name. The shop-keeper sold the fruit as dragon fruit and I was enticed by the looks of it and bought it, inspite of the price. I wanted to write about it here really because I have never heard of such a fruit and I was so surprised to see it in Chennai. My wife & son didn't like it and I am finishing the cut fruit slowly. I have to accept it doesn't taste great, at the same time its not very bad either and its definitely eatable considering the positives of Pitaya. Some clicks of the Pitaya I bought.

I saw my first Dragon Fruit yesterday as well. I haven't tasted it yet but I've heard that they don't taste much of anything, which is a pity. They really do look amazing.
it comes in another colour. instead of white juicy portion it can be in beetroot red colour. very much a favorite fruit in south east asia. I encountered this fruit very recently when moved to this part of world. One of the rain forest fruits. Many such fruits and vegitables available here which hardly i had seen or aware while in TN.
