Hey peeps, the dragonfruit I had tasted in-between a watermelon and cantaloupe, while the texture reminded me of a Kiwi fruit, and they charge $60 TTD per pound for the fruit at the time of this recording. You can always check their Facebook page or call them to find out more (all info in the description above)
Visited the Pioneer Dragon Fruit farm today so got to taste the fruit and bought some. It did have a nice juicy taste to it, very subtle taste between a cantaloupe and slight kiwi , but I liked it.
This is so amazing, that this farmer of this exotic fruit has mastered growing such a fruit in our country on a large scale 👏👏💯 didn't know, but now I know, thank u.
Dragon fruit grows on the Hylocereus cactus, also known as the Honolulu queen, whose flowers only open at night. The plant is native to southern Mexico and Central America. Today, it is grown all over the world. Lovely Video..Rajeev. Best Wishes & Support from INDIA. Jai Maa Durga.
Really great to see the farmers in Trinidad experimenting and finding ways to cultivate different kinds of crops. Fruits are full of fiber, vitamin C, and rich sources of antioxidants which protect us from free radical damage. Eating fruits is on excellent way to boost your immune system. Eat the locally grown food, and support these hard working farmers. I admire dedicated people like Mr. Anand who has not given up during these difficult times. God bless this man and others like him.
@@TrinbagoVibes One reason for the noticeable difference in taste is because the ones in the grocery stores are picked long before they are ripened. They do this in order to extend its shelf life. Even the fruits in the grocery stores that look ripe are not ripened on the tree or plant on which they grew. The nutrients and flavors are not fully developed, and will not be as delicious as those allowed to mature and ripened on the plant. People in T&T should support their local farmers. The food grown locally is better quality, unless farmers are using harmful chemicals and man made fertilizers.
@@durgabhawanee9957 agreed we have to support our local farmers, and this fruit is not like paw paw or mango in that even when picked it will get ripe, it’s process stops at the time it is picked to extend shelf life as you mentioned.
So I just tasted this fruit for the 1st time @ 5:55am this morning and I love it. I think I want a plant to grow in my yard which will make me the 1st 1 with it in my community. Good eat and best colour👌🏾👍🏾
Visited the Pioneeer’s Dragon Fruit farm today and it was awesome to see so many trees. Our guide, Mr. John took us around and we learnt how it grows and even got a taste. It has a very subtle taste not bad at all, like a mix between a cantaloupe and slight kiwi; bought some as well.
Funny enough that’s the first time I tasted it, but in Canada…but when I found out it was grown here, I just had to visit and try these and it was a stark difference in taste
Just beautiful. I had the white inside kind from an Asian supermarket where I live, and it was not good at all. But those fresh from the cactus, has to be good. The setting was just beautiful. Thanks...
Yup, I’ve to try the white inside from them to see if it’s different, but the one I tasted in Canada was bland…but the place is also serene and a nice spot to relax as well
Congratulations on this video getting so many views! It's great! Fab insight for your visitors. This is funny so I'm looking out on my terrace and I think I have a dragon fruit cactus. My neighbour gave it to me a month ago so I will wait and see if it gets a fruit!
Dragonfruit is expensive in the L.A. groceries...except if you shop in Chinatown. After watching you eat the dragonfruit right off the tree, I suddenly feel like eating some dragonfruit. You could do a tamarind video some day.😙
@@TrinbagoVibes You could do all the items made from tamarind...sauce, chutney, drink, ball, jam, ice cream (...?) I am sure Trinis have been inventive with the fruit. I noticed tamarind sauce used in many of the Trini food videos. We never ate tamarind sauce with our food. My Mom cooking skills were diverse; Chinese, Indian, Trini, English, American, Guyanese Pepperpot, Spagetti and Spanish Rice. She didn't know anything about Japanese or French food.
It's amazing. I've seen it's a foreign fruit, especially in China but in our country Trinidad and Tobago, wow, would like to know how it tastes, make comparisons.
Thank you, for me it tastes like a kiwi mixed with watermelon, but yes one day I’ll be trying the white, yellow, red and hopefully pink ones to make that comparison
you and the family will definitely enjoy it, forgot to show the kids play park within the property as well, its just a small section but its an added bonus for the younglins
Good job on the video man. I like how you did the directions too so if i don't feel like using google maps it will be easy to find. Very practical to find but too far to venture for me lol. I'm hoping one day to taste this fruit since i've been seeing so much about it lately.
I believe there are some supermarkets that are selling the dragonfruit from Pionners, check out their Facebook page for more info, so at least you don’t have to make that far of a drive 😊 and thanks for the feedback on the video 🙏🏽
🇹🇹🇩🇰Dragonfruit… yes 👍 Danish cookies, cakes, pastries…nope🤐, no thank you😁. I don’t eat shit that’s made with flour, eww 💩 Good one Trinbago Vibes😝. Yummy to the Dragonfruit👌
Definitely a fruit I have always wanted to try, but you don't really see it. The trees looks like a coconut catus trees. Now u making me feel to have one of those. They have alot of different fruit trees there. Didn't know you can plant strawberries here.Enjoyed this vlog bro.
Yeah you can, but it’s smaller and the taste is a bit different, but next time they have fruits y’all can visit, or next time if I’m in your area and have one me I’ll drop off one for y’all to try
It would have been nice to try and describe the taste or maybe compare it to a comparable fruit. Also what’s the cost range for a fruit? what are the benefits of such a fruit?
Noted, will do a follow up video on it, trying the different types but it’s similar to Kiwi mixed with a mango texture as for the benefits: rich In antioxidants, high in fiber, it strengthens your immune system and lowers blood sugar, it cost $60 per pound but you may get some discounts depending on how many you buy, lol…will definitely have to do a follow up video, thanks for the feedback
You did not describe anything about the dragon fruit itself. What did it taste like, texture. You bought some, how much did it cost? It is good to do videos but for those who have never been to visit there or even see the fruits, we would like a bit more info, but you did a good job in showing the directions to the farm.👍
Thanks for the feedback, have plans to do a follow up video with the variety of dragonfruit (once it’s available) to include these, but the one I had tasted like kiwi mixed with watermelon and it costs $60 per lb
Help! Lol...I live in the states and got a dragon fruit at the grocery store. When cut it smelled like "dirt" musty smell and had no taste whatsoever. I heard it's supposed to taste like kiwi/pear. How do I know if it's ripe or overripe? Thank you
If it’s the white one on the inside, it will be bland..at least from my experience when I tried it in Canada, if you can get the yellow or red one (on the inside) then it will be sweet, in terms of ripeness you won’t know unless you pick it, once picked it will not get ripen further…hope this helps
@@TrinbagoVibes great I like rambutans, hopefully there are durians there too. Costa Rica has tons of exotic fruits from South East Asia and they trees and seeds there. I have been to Trinidad and Tobago once, very nice temples and beaches and great steel pan music.
@@benjaminmorley1007 nice, hopefully once we get COVID under control you’ll be able to visit. I’ll definitely look to see if any of our local farmers are growing Durian
So I heard, but at Pioneer they sell it for $60 per pound, and you have to look for their sticker on the fruit: I saw their products selling at Chase Mart at d chase village flyover ranging between $42-$56 ttd

Yup, and they are also experimenting via grafting to yield some unique ones as well, not to mention it’s a place open to the public to visit
So good to see Dragon fruit is grown in Trinidad. I love Dragon fruit and other exotic fruits.
Yup, and this could be a game changer in terms of our agriculture sector in going forward, thanks for support Delia 🙏🏽

Nice and there are a lot of healthy benefits when you consume it and well you know where to go if you want to get the plant itself
So amazing...didn't know that it was growing in Trinidad in Penal. Thanks for sharing .
Indeed it is and you’re welcome 🙏🏽
The fruit you tasted is a good variety but the yellow variety is even more tasty all the best to the farmers of t&t keep up the wonderful work 🙏
Ohhh, hmmm I’ve to get my hands on that one and try it, because the one I had was really good and you’re saying the yellow takes it to another level 😁
I saw dragonfruit growing at La Vega some years ago but I didn't know it was being farmed on a large scale now. Fabulous colour!!!
Yup the colours are definitely beautiful, and it can be a game changer given its benefits
Beautiful video bro much love and appreciation from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. And Guyana 🇬🇾❤

That fruit used to grow wild on my mango tree long long ago but did not know it was dragon fruit.

Has the November 2022 flooding affected this town/village?
it's quite possible, although I'm not sure if their catchment would have handle the amount of water we got these past few days
Just beautiful. I had the white inside kind from an Asian supermarket where I live, and it was not good at all. But those fresh from the cactus, has to be good. The setting was just beautiful. Thanks...

Thanks Alex, and yeah, once it bears remember to cut it off and let me know how it is 😁
Amazing, sometimes we does see it off the rocks DDI. Nice video.
Nice, but one of these is to take the Yutes down south
Nice video, very educational!
thanks 🙏🏽
It looks like ice cream on the inside. Can't wait to taste them. Love the edit bro.
Yup, it’s a mix of kiwi and mango texture, you’ll definitely enjoy it and they made ice cream from it already at the farm I believe as well as bread
Nice...i never even had dat in my life ...fr fr....looks like a very nice fruit...nice video bro
Thanks bro, one of these days I’m sure you will try it

Did they make the dragonfruit grow on another kind of tree? What I've seen were kind of leaning against walls
They made it grow on a wooden post with a round cut out of a tyre at the top and the rest of the tyre at the base of the tree to act as support
I see. Thanks😀

I plant my own so i dont have to buy, also my pomegranate. Some ppl sell too expensive

The black things on the fruit look like seeds.
