Simple juice with red dragon fruit also known as pitaya fruit. I am very choosy when it comes to trying out new things. Though we are here for almost 11 years now in SG, I have not tried many things that’s available easily here. Right from food to these fruits. I have seen these fruits in wet market and grocery stores, but only once bought this fruit. Not the same variety but the white variety. I could not swallow the fruit with so many small black seeds in it. Even for Kiwi fruit it happened the same way. But these days I am used to it. I like kiwi fruit these days. Dragon fruit or pitaya, yet to get comfortable with. I made this juice to begin with, I liked to eat as such too. I am sure these days it is available in India too, you can try this one.
