Take Note, How to Choose Sweet and Fresh Dragon Fruit

Dream - Red dragon fruit is one type of fruit that contains many beneficial nutrients and vitamins for health. Unfortunately, not all red dragon fruits have a sweet taste.

Some of them can taste sour or even have no taste at all or tend to be bland. Dream Friends are curious about how to choose red dragon fruit that has a sweet and high-quality taste? Check out the following tips.

1. Pay Attention to Skin Color

Choose red dragon fruit that has bright red and even skin color. Avoid those with brown spots or black spots, as this can indicate that the fruit is already overripe or may be damaged.

2. Touch the Surface of the Skin

The next tip for choosing sweet red dragon fruit is to touch the surface of the skin to ensure the quality of the fruit.

Feel the surface of the red dragon fruit skin gently. Good quality fruit will feel firm and slightly moist when touched. Avoid fruits that are too soft or have hard skin, as this can indicate a lack of quality in the dragon fruit. 

3. Check the Tail and Fruit Leaves

The tail and leaves of the red dragon fruit can also provide clues about the level of ripeness and freshness of the fruit. This tip for choosing sweet red dragon fruit will make it easier for Dream Friends to determine the quality of the fruit.

Choose fruit with a tail that is still firmly attached and leaves that are still fresh and not wilted. Red dragon fruit that still has a strong tail indicates that the fruit is not damaged and is still in good condition.
