How to Eat Dragon Fruit

- How do you eat dragon fruit? It's easy. You slice it in half and eat it with a spoon, or simply peel off the skin and slice it into bite-size pieces. The skin is not edible. The inner dragon fruit is similar in texture to a kiwi fruit. The fruit is filled with small seeds that are edible, they add a little texture, but for the most part they are unnoticeable. Dragon fruit is found readily in Asian food markets. The color of the fruit varies from reddish to yellow. Most dragon fruit sold in Asian Markets are reddish skinned with white flesh. As the fruit ripens the "scales" will wilt and begin to brown. The fruit will sweeten as it ripens. Dragon fruit grows in tropical climates on cactus plants. Red dragon fruit with white flesh is the most popular and primarily comes from Asia. Dragon fruit from Mexico and Central America will have reddish flesh inside. Dragon fruit is packed with nutrition and easy to eat, but I've found it to be a little pricey in the USA. How much is dragon fruit in your area?

THE YELLOW ONES ARE MUCH SWEETER THAN THE RED, I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE DON'T PROMOTE THE YELLOW DRAGON FRUIT IT TASTE WAY BETTER 👍
Such a cool chef. I like your personality ☺️
Chef Buck
👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you clarified the seeds are edible. It would have been a real chore to pick everyone out haha
😂True
How someone can eat removing seeds ?
@@MOJIBHIKHI yes
Hahahahaha
I had no idea this fruit existed outside of games til tonight
I just got one at Walmart for 6.99$
My grandma said today “when are you going to eat your monster fruit?” 😂🐉
I got it for $4 at publix
I get mine $5 at HEB but I still don't buy it because it's so expensive
got it for 2$ lol
@@pravashrestha9641 I went to a flee market and got two of them for 4 bucks. Definitely worth it
@Red Man I don't even know man but to me it just tasted like water
“You could let it dry, use it as a bookmark” 🤣
Just tried first Dragon Fruit. It was the red inside variety. A mate from work grows them in his yard and gave me one to try. Delicious 😋
Red Dragon Fruit 2 pounds for $7.99 and yellow dragon fruit 1.5 pounds for $5.99. Both products of Ecuador found in Chicago suburban Costco.
What area are you from...what kind of climate? 😊
Before I saw his face I was picturing a much younger guy.
I know....that's how I feel most mornings when I look in the mirror
Me too.
I honestly was thinking 20-30 year old guy lol
alex mattyspac hahaha me too
had the same thing hahahahahah
In Mexico, was free.... fell off the damn cactus and the neighbor gave us a bunch
They call them pitayas and they are native from Mexico and central.. The spaniards sold them to Asian and many other mexican native fruits, vegetables and spices.
@@ccchk1 so these are a form of pitayas?? Bc I thought they tasted like them a lot.
ooof its so expensive in my country it 20 liras which is like 20 dolars
¿Qué chingados? Soy de Monterrey y nunca he comido ni visto una :(
I don't understand a word but I feel you tho!😂🤣
Love the chill banter and great instructional info thanks 👏🏾
Thanks for the help. I just had my first Dragon Fruit in my life. I saw it in my local supermarket in Wales, UK the other day and wanted to try it finally. It was £2 so I think it was worth it! Mine was pink/purple inside just like a beetroot, and stsined my fingers too 😅
This dood:
"I feckin hate kiwi!!!"
The kiwi:
"Dude that was like 50 years ago, let it go"
He doesn’t look 50 years or higher old I’ve seen a 90 year old he looks nothing like him
I much prefer kiwi to the rather bland and tasteless dragonfruit
@@shanemurphy9024 would you really eat a sour overpriced ball of green over a culturally important fruit?
@@fumiko_is_typing... Thanks for presuming your cultural value is higher than mine. I was attesting to taste if your were paying attention
@@shanemurphy9024 I never said anything about culture, just the fruit is culturally important, if you were paying attention
I live in the Philippines, just bought a dragon fruit for $1.25 a pound. I hear that the hotter the season, the sweeter the fruit. For those saying that your money is wasted and they are tasteless, I recommend just tasting these fruits the next time you go on vacation at a hot, tropical country!
(Blueberries here on the other hand, go for around $25 a pound huhu)
Philippines is on my bucket list of places to experience.
whoa! $25/lb?! That's wild I thought $5/basket was a lot here lol
No way! I love blueberries 🫐
25 a pound oh my god i thought 6 a pound was absurd
25 a pound???insane
Now I'm not afraid to buy and try. Thank you, Chef!
You are very funny. My kind of humor for sure. And who is laughing and commenting in the back ground adds the best touch. 😊
I’m shocked by how much I enjoyed this video. It was informative and the jokes were all really well-timed. Keep it up and good luck with your kiwi PTSD!
I love this guy! Shoe, bookmark, and it just got more 'entertaining!' What a cool surprise. I am now looking forward to trying the different versions (i.e., Mexican, etc.) Very informative, especially about softening(sweetness), which he demonstrated by his disappointment, might not always be so. Thanks guy, great job/video/personality! Even liked the female voice input/comments/contribution!😅
Great presentation. Thank you. I loved it.
The inside of the dragon fruit reminds me of some sort of ice cream😂
Maybe Cookies and Cream?
Straciatella...
Your profile pic is terrifying...
Stracitella yea- Pretty sure I spelled that wrong
Yes, dragon ice-cream.
My favorite fruit. It's like a cake in a way. It sort of feels like you're taking bites of pastry. Perfectly sweetened, juicy with a bit of creamy sensation. Love everything about this fruit.
even the price?
The price in Fiji is around $20.00 a KG 😅
I just tried one and nearly barfed. It was not sweet at all and I paid $10 for it 😭
@@monicapyle Aye Monica, I feel the same way 😂, but I’m going to eat it because I paid a little over $5
@@btruthful163 I let mine sit in the fridge a few more days and then forced myself to eat it. After letting it sit, it got slightly sweeter but still not good enough that I'd ever purposely eat one again lol
I got one at Waitrose for £3.50 a pound. Its the red variety, sourced from Vietnam. Thanks to this really relaxing explanation , I would feel confident taking it apart 😄😊
2.75 asda
£1.00 at my local Barnet, Herts market! 😂…going to try it tomorrow
WOW it's bargain! @@rogerrandall6124
Just tried this for the first time today! Delicious! I love in Kentucky and this summer is the first I've I've seen it in grocery stores in my city
I found them for 50 yen (about .42 cent) each in the grocery store in Japan today. They are very good size also. I brought them without hesitation for that price even not knowing how to eat one. Your video definitely came in handy. Thanks!
On the other hand, we've heard that watermelons are $50 in Japan. So, definitely go for the bargain fruits. They're usually local + in season = super sweet and yummy.
@@chelseamaya7828 yes, you have heard correct. Lol. Watermelons are alot of times around $50 in japan and they are about half the size of in other countries
@@TikkoRocksDaMic I want to sell watermelons in japan then
Bought this fruit out of curiosity. Your video helped big time. As in I didn't know how to test for ripeness. I liked the fruit. Probably wouldn't go out of the way to buy it , but glad I tried it. Thank you for the video
I got a papaya and dragon fruit today. Love the papaya, gonna be trying the dragon fruit as well!! Love your videos 🤣🤣🤣
Mine costed five and some change today but it was on the smaller side. I was feeling adventurous when I bought it but got timid about it, greatful to watch you eat it for me lol now I feel like it's pretty straight forward and I'll go try it myself.
Me and my friends watched this video during a media seminar at university, and we then (by chance!) found one in the shop and tried it, it’s changed our lives and we wanted to thank you for this gift
seriously who disliked this video...the guy is only showing how to eat fruit -__-
Im glad I watched. I just brought one home and this will be my first time trying it. I hope its sweet enough
Has shitty music = dislike.
Has glasses on with an arm broken off = dislike
@@SickPillow that's kinda shitty to judge him like that
Dislikes are kiwi lovers
@@SickPillow lol i didnt notice that... XD Now I like him even more. :D
So was your dragon fruit sweet?
Hello chef buck .new subscribers from Philippines. I am curious of this fruit this week planning to buy and dont know how to prepare... so now i know how to prepare.
we just bought a dragon fruit and had no idea how to cut it!!! thank you for this great video!!
Dude, your commentary is amazing haha. Learning to prepare food + laughing = easy decision to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for the help!
Cost me 2$ at Walmart in Missouri USA... it was 4.99 but cashier couldn’t find the item in system so she just put 2$ lol
Same 😆
Literal same thing just happened to me
It was .98 cents for one at Publix
It cost me $5.39 in illinois
I'm a Walmart employee. You're all banned
The "qweeezies!" Love that explanation. Great video!
Thank you for this. I've never eaten it, but wanted to try it anyway. So I bought some today even though I have zero idea how to prepare it, its a little less than $2 for 3 pieces here in the Philippines. I hope its good, i hope I'll like it. Appreciate the video, truly informative.
I just bough it for $7 -Arizona, one lady in the store asks me what is that?! Is it a pet?🤣
I've lived in AZ for 20yr and totally believe you. I would have said it's a Pokemon. People are that stupid here. XD
Lollll
$ 7 each one!!!!!!!
Pet?? 😂😂😂😂
Im in PHX and just bought dragonfruit for the 1st time EVER and me and my older bro were joking talking about how it's going to make pokemon evolve and shit. Lol
I just got 6 of them... 3 red and 3 yellow -- 3 for 99 cents at the regular grocery store in Ontario, Canada. They usually cost more, and I've never tried one before, so I figured with a price like that, now was the time. :) Thanks for your video, I had no idea how to eat them!
I like your sense of humor.
Can't wait to try one. Saw them at Publix. 😊
it looks like cookies and cream
ImAPotato it does look like cookies an cream
MisterDumbPants 😂😂😂
Same
It barely tastes like anything. bland rice pudding
Looks like a dragon
The straight up sass in this video made my day 😂
You are hilarious! Thank you for the information
i just got one on sale at the asian market for $2, i’ve always wanted to try one and didn’t know how to eat it haha. great video thanks.
"you could let it dry out and make a book mark out of it" lol
I finally ate my first dragonfruit, mild and refreshing with a hint of sweetness
I hate dragon fruit
It took my job
Fricked my wife
And shot my dog

Didn’t think I was going to receive comedy from a dragon fruit eating tutorial. Super funny!
You, Sir, are extremely entertaining. All while being informative. Thank you! 👏🏼
You just made my day with queasy like Sunday morning😂
Thank you so much for your presentation. Had no idea before you explained.
Kathmandu, Nepal
Just picked one up at walmart for 4.89. Got it because it looked neat. Thanks for showing me how to eat it. We have yucca root right next to it, might try that next. 😋
Wow I went to publix because I KNEW they would Have it n they did
I wish my 2 min away would have had it lol
"If you got a shit load of money.. And you just don't care about it" lolol this is why I watch your videos
Thank you for this video 🙂
Traveling on business in West Texas oil field country so I had a chance to put some food on my expenses and wanted to try this for the first time. Bought a yellow one at HEB for $5.30 and it hit the spot. Not too sweet but tasty. Helpful video. 😊 thanks
What😂😂😂 5dollars 😂😂😂darn im so lucky in Philippines were just getting it in our back yard 😂😂😂
Yeah but...you have an unemployment/underemployment rate of almost 30%. Extreme poverty, ostensibly free education yet 1 out of 3 girls never get past a 6th grade education because there are hidden costs and so poor families send the boys. I visited a major Metropolitan area and on the way to the market we stepped over many ... far too many homeless children in cruel conditions that made me truly mad. I spent a lot of time in Colombia (born there) and it reminded me a lot of certain parts of it. A few people with lots of wealth and a few more business class / professional class, and scores of poor who have no real prospects. Sounds like you're one of the lucky ones and sorry for any offense, I just can't get the image of those kids outta my head. It's not just the Philippines, it's most places...sad.
Says the skeptic. We should team up to obliterate unfounded happy shiny feelings wherever they may hide!
@@joshuashrode2084 I'm not fun at parties but I did like your point here
Min Val I paid $12 for one one time because I was craving it so badly when I was pregnant but it was ripe and sweet. Very worth it 😂 at the time
It's just some places have unique foods that other places don't. Be thankful with what climate and foodstuffs you have.
Mine are free, growing in back yard in Hawaii
Funny thing is dragonfruit is from the genus Hylocereus. Being a true cactus, Hylocereus originated in the Americas it is just not certain where in the Americas. And now we are charged a "premium" for the fruit simply because it generates images of exotic and tropical areas. But alas, you are not only in Hawaii but have access to dragonfruit! :-P
Jack Anderson i need to try it im from morroco they dont sell it here
Lucky you😄
Jack Anderson and here I am in the middle of North America, growing grass...
U bought the plant and raised it?
The kids just talked us into a dragon fruit at the store. Thanks to your laid back (and slightly sassy🤭) tutorial we now know how to slice and serve it. Thank you.😁
~~THX! I LIKED THIS VIDEO, NOW I WILL GO TASTE IT IN THE KITCHEN~~~ITS SO PRETTY!
Bought one of these on a whim a couple days ago. It was like 4.99 in GA. The cashier had never seen it before 🤣🤣🤣
Opened it up and found it was the red variety. It was pretty good, sorta reminded me of watermelon. Was not as sweet as I was expecting it to be though. Ate it though and am now Dragonborn! FUS RO DAH! 🐲👧
I only paid for dragon fruit once...it was $1.50 and a really good size. Large mango size. I’ve always thought that they are fairly bland but very refreshing. Since they’re full of antioxidants, I still eat them but I like a bit of lemon juice squeezed over it.
I was given one from the food bank . Thank u for explaining what it is .
Thanks for the Video... Nice Video ...
I wanna know about your traumatic kiwi experience
i wanna know what you're doing watching all these dragon fruit videos
I didn't know there was such a thing as a traumatic kiwi fruit
Hotaru Tomoe mine cost $3 at walmart in illinios
I have a friend who gets anaphylactic shock from the hairs on kiwi fruit.
My doctor says to I'm slightly allergic to them because it makes my tongue raw and swells and I get ichy all over. But they're just so delicious oml
“You can make a shoe out of it...”
*me:* Well that’s specific
I just got two for $6 (Sprouts Farmer's Market, in Arizona). Ty for the video and the humor. 🖖😊👍
Gracias no sabia como comerla en mi pais no la he visto pero queria probarla !
When I first bought one in India for 100rs, I expected super sweet taste but actually It Is one of a kind tasting just like water, yeah! I mean it is 95% tasteless but you feel the tiny black seeds crunchy and the smell of the skin: I loved it.
I like the juice its soo tasty when u add with some milk and sugar and one fruit cost is like 120rs in South India
We live in Atlanta and bought our very first dragon fruit today from Sprouts for $3.99. Thank you for making me laugh while learning how I am supposed to cut up this ridiculously priced fruit for my kids to eat!
Haha. I am 50 miles south of Atlanta and just paid $9.98 for one!
I actually needed the info in here as I am about to share a dragon fruit with my students and I have never eaten one. But i ended up watching the video twice and subscribing because it was low-key hilarious. Thanks - i like your style.
I'm not going to eat it right now
Just bought my 1st dragon fruit for $7.99 here in the United States... Columbus Ohio! Googled how to eat it. And your video was the first to pop up!
I get a Kilo for USD 3.-, besides we have it in the garden with plenty of other fruit and spice trees.
I also like to eat it with a spoon, sweet and very powerful Antioxidant.
Enjoy your Dragon Fruit or pitaya either in white,red or yellow color.

No wonder monkey's love dragon fruit it's sweet.. Lol need to try this out. Thanks for sharing 👍
You can grow it in Phoenix, Arizona and they bloom in the winter here.
I love how you put smoothies as a way to get "lazy jaw" syndrome
From showin me how to make some good sautéed shrimp to showing how to eat dragon fruit. Good content bro.
We live in Maine. My wife and I just purchased our first dragon fruit two hours ago! Haven’t cut it yet but we’re excited!!! $5.98
Nobody:
Chef Buck: I think they eat alot of these in game of thrones. 😂😂💀
😀😀😀😀
For anyone saying it looks nasty be quiet because i bet you eat cookies and creme hershy bars...
Your pfp and video content invalidates any point your trying to make
Fortnite is trash
What's wrong with cookies and cream Hershey bars?..
Also the dragonfruit was so bland and not even sweet and it was a waste of my 5.99
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@calasquidd8214 the longer you wait to eat it the sweeter it gets and it depends on where you get it from also
That was cool thank you, the Dragon lady by me sold me one for $5 gonna try it soon never have
You are funny sir Thanks for the laughs!
looks more like cookies and cream to me.
I personally like it in smoothies it's good you just let it get really ripe I mean really ripe
i love these so much, i actually like the ones that aren’t very sweet lol
I am in Ecuador where they are just starting to grow these commercially. One of these at the market is less than $1. So many pitahaya smoothies!
Just came from Walmart and got one for about $4.80. I'd been wanting to try it but had no idea how to eat it lol. Thanks for the video. -Arizona
I love this video! Me and my husband died laughing! Thank you. And very informative lol 😂
Cactus Jelly was a favorite for me growing up, my grandma would collect cactus prickly pears burn off the stickers, par boil, peel, pressure cook the pear meat then make the best tasting jelly of your life. Each Christmas was one small jar in your stocking, my dad would end up stealing as soon as it went in the fridge!!!!
Yummy im welsh we eat this and drank dragon fruit juice before
Hey love the video, I just bought a dragon fruit at my Walmart for 2.79 , that's in Canadian money , I live in Cape Breton , Nova Scotia. I just loved how beautiful it is. I just home and I have no idea how to eat it, thanks for the wonderful information!
Lucky in NY it cost 5.49
I bought one for 3 dollars in Mexico
alida hughes moncon nb here. trying my first dragon fruit tonight!
alida hughes didnt realise how old this was lol
Just bought one for 3.99 in Illinois!
Living in japan just bought some for $1.50 USD because the non local fruits are very expensive so I’ve decided to switch to local fruits. I’m going to let it ripen hopefully it’s good. Mangoes are $6 each, avocados are usually $2 and up, watermelon usually runs about $20 in japan and $30 in korea. There is a good selection of honey dew melon here.
I should fly there and bring 100 🍉 watermelons
i love this man
Thank you for the info. Where does one get the custom designed shirt you were wearing?
I just bought a dragon fruit in Publix for 2.99 per fruit in Florida. Not expensive. It was the red and I let sit and get a little soft before I ate it but it didn't turn very sweet to me. I probably will not buy this fruit again. Thank you 😊😎 FL.
I bought 2 because I wanted to try it. At the cheapest grocery store I can find (Winco) it cost $4.98 each. I live in Northern Utah.
This dude is funny 😂 thanks for the laugh and tutorial
Just found your channel and I subscribed!! Needed to know what to do with this!! Lol I paid 9.99 on sale...ugh. yours was a bargain!! Have a good one!!
Why in the heck are they packaged in styrofoam and plastic wrap , ridiculous !
Because they come to life in the dark 😂😂
Because they are shipped halfway around the globe.
That's that premium plastic wrap... It too came from a dragon
I just wanna know how you make a shoe out of the cover now
Tie knots in the ends of a few lengths of twine. Thread the twine through a tapestry needle. Push the needle through the rind near the edge and pull until the knot stops it. You'll want four to six of these around the rind. Tie it to your foot like a sandal. Voila. Shoe.
Maybe he can send you the rinds and you can experiment maje a video
vazzu 😂😂😂
yes 😂
Thanks for the video. All I needed was 10 seconds of the video.
My sister brought one from the .99 cent store for $1.99 each !!! I was some what bitter but okay 🤷♀️!!! I liked the texture with the seeds as well !!!
