One could use some raw red beets and cut them into squares and let them sit for a while in the blended juice to give it a color, and then remove them. The beets don&#39;t give off any taste.Paul[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-33337886282880316572012-02-01T19:38:49.096-08:002012-02-01T19:38:49.096-08:00Thanks Mel, if you ever visit SE Asia, definitely give it a tryseasonwithspice[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-45862650834649746692012-02-01T19:34:16.505-08:002012-02-01T19:34:16.505-08:00Thanks Ray, Happy New Year to you too!seasonwithspice[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-66747679153753786872012-02-01T19:32:29.988-08:002012-02-01T19:32:29.988-08:00Thanks Teresa!seasonwithspice[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-39488004685599218532012-02-01T19:31:51.530-08:002012-02-01T19:31:51.530-08:00Thanks Nicole, hopefully you can find a purple one sometime to make thisseasonwithspice[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-3365517718729350462012-01-28T15:08:48.646-08:002012-01-28T15:08:48.646-08:00This is so beautiful! I discovered dragonfruit with the white insides when I was in Hong Kong, but I&#39;ve never seen the variety with the bright purple inside – it&#39;s stunning!! I&#39;m so intrigued by it – too bad I&#39;m highly unlikely to find any in Scotland…!Mel (Sharky Oven Gloves)http://sharkyovengloves.wordpress.com/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-63566893069407936982012-01-22T15:41:16.217-08:002012-01-22T15:41:16.217-08:00The color is so beautiful and vibrant, not to mention it&#39;s wonderful flavor!

I&#39;ve never seen a purple dragonfruit before, the ones we get here are always white on the inside.Nicole @ It's Feeding Time at the Zoohttp://www.itsfeedingtimeatthezoo.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-23608422785800720002011-07-02T19:44:59.478-07:002011-07-02T19:44:59.478-07:00Thanks everyone! <br /><br />The flavor of a purple dragon fruit is hard to explain. It is very sweet and fruity, but doesn&#39;t have a distinct flavor, other than the slightly nutty taste from the seeds. It has a high water content, almost as much as a watermelon, so it is best eaten by itself, or made into a juice/cocktail. I made ice cream with it before (after boiling it into a paste), but the flavor was still so weak that I needed to add chocolate chips, so it didn&#39;t just taste like vanilla ice cream (you can see a picture of the very pink ice cream at the bottom of my nutmeg ice cream post here: http://blog.seasonwithspice.com/2011/03/chocolate-nutmeg-ice-cream.html)<br /><br />Nashi - you&#39;ll love it. Do you have the purple one in Qatar? I usually find the white fruit one (which has the same purple skin) in other countries. Hopefully, they sell it there.

You know, I been skeptical about buying this fruit whenever I come across it at the local stores. I was doubtful of the taste and couldnt figure out a way to use it other than snacking on it :) You just changed my mind... it&#39;s alread on my shopping list!Platefulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14622462860173201879[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488443880886773768.post-91272314469893108272011-07-02T11:48:58.878-07:002011-07-02T11:48:58.878-07:00I have absolutely no idea what this gorgeous concoction must be delicious if it tastes even half as good as it looks!
