Stir to combine before serving. The Amazing Dragon Fruit The Dragon fruit is an exotic fruit with a red leathery outside. This delicious fruit grows on several types of cactus. The most common color of the inside fruit is white with tiny black seeds which you eat. There is also one that has yellow skin with tiny black seeds. The hardest to find is the magenta-colored fruit with tiny black seeds. They are the tastiest of all these delicious fruits. They are also the hardest to find. Many Asian doctors believe the fruit is able to lower cholesterol, boost your immune system, prevent some types of cancer and even help prevent and cure heart disease, Western medicine has not done any real research on this tropical fruit, as it is rarely seen outside of places like Southern California, Arizona, Florida, and Hawaii. It is so rare that it usually quite expensive even in those places. They can usually be found only in Asian Markets. The average cost in Florida for one small fruit is around 6-7 dollars. Asian Markets usually have them when in season for the area. As with all fruits, there are many juice combinations that you can do. Dragon fruit is also used in salads, sorbet, and ice cream. When using the yellow fruit, many people add a little lemon or lime to bring out the more subtle flavor. Here is one of the best sorbet recipes I have found.

Scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Reserve the halves for serving, if desired. Freeze the halves until you are ready to fill them.

Spoon the sorbet into the frozen halves, or freeze the sorbet until ready to serve. Makes about 2 cups of sorbet.
