Cutting a dragon fruit can seem tricky, but it’s quite simple once you know how. Here’s a quick, easy guide to help you how to cut dragon fruit. ✂️
Choose a Ripe Fruit: Pick a dragon fruit that is bright in color and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid fruits with too many blemishes or overly soft spots.🍉
Rinse and Dry: Wash the dragon fruit under cool running water. Pat it dry with a clean towel to remove any dirt or residue.
Slice Off the Ends: Place the fruit on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut off about half an inch from both ends. This will give you a stable base for the next steps.🥗
Cut in Half: Stand the fruit on one of its flat ends. Carefully slice it lengthwise down the middle. You should now have two halves with beautiful white or red flesh dotted with tiny black seeds.
Scoop Out the Flesh: Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from each half. You can run the spoon along the edges of the skin to separate the flesh easily. The flesh should come out in one piece if the fruit is ripe.
Slice and Serve: Place the scooped-out flesh on the cutting board. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, cubes, or slices, as you prefer. It’s now ready to eat!🍽️
Enjoy: Dragon fruit can be eaten as is, added to fruit salads, smoothies, or even used as a garnish for desserts. Its mild, sweet flavor pairs well with many other fruits.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully cut a dragon fruit. Enjoy its unique taste and vibrant color in your meals.
