    Very expensive here in Canada, but it's delicious and has lots of health benefits... Don't let the seeds scare you, and it's a good eat for pregnant women, diabetics, bones, hair, skin, etc... The yellow one is a bit tangy in flavor to me, and my favorite. Yes Dragon fruit pancake, with a little bit of passion fruit in the mix, just give it a try. I almost want to call it the miracle fruit to Moringa but Moringa has 18 out of 20 nutrition values. The cactus' family is full of health peeps!!!

    It grows wild in Trelawny and my grandma used to cook the stem just before it flower. She called it wild okra. We didn't eat the fruit. It was very tasty and slippery just as the Okra. It actually runs like a vine on other nearby trees.
    Just don't know why grandma didn't let us eat the fruit.
    I have eaten the fruit in England.

    Hey Wesley...thanks for another gem. I recall seeing dragon-fruit in Jamaica waaaay back when I was a child visiting my grandparents. It wasn't until I traveled to Thailand that I tried it. I didn't like it at all 🤢. I don't like the texture and I found it rather lacking in any particular flavor. However it can stewed and made into a delicious jam. But as with all jams, a lot of sugar has to be added. The color is so vibrant...Dragon-fruit purple ❤️. Jamaica is indeed the capitol of the universe (as one of your interviewee once stated)...at least agriculturally.

    This fruit is good for gutt health. It takes no time for u to go the bathroom. I eat it almost everyday. The yellow skin one is very sweet. I use the one with red inside in lemon aid. The taste is real good. Love this fruit.

      @We Up Ok my dear dear hear you !! Almost everything we consume by mouth nowadays is man made and GMO, we not getting clean pure anything to eat hardly , from Meat , to Fruit, Vegetables, Grains whatever you can think of Bread ,Cheese , Fish you name it … God help us !! We can only bless it, pray it don’t kill us , and eat it , …. What else are we going to do? Die from hungry? One way or the other we’ll be dead !! Best thing to do is eat strictly Organic Natural Food, if best grow our own if we can , then we’ll be sure it’s not tampered with ….

      This is actually native to south and central America and was introduced to Vietnam and other Asian countries.

      @We Up there has been no gene editing done. Rather, these were created using cross pollination(selective breeding). This also occurs naturally in nature, where the plants with the strongest traits survive and produce seeds that are disbursed by animals that repeat the cycle. The only difference with the versions we are consuming is that Farmers and botanists observe and crossbreed the the plants that have traits they desire. Please do some research on Mendel's Law and we can discuss this further.

      @We Up you are aware that farmers have been practicing selective breeding for hundreds of years before modern day technology used to genetically modify plants right? Selective breeding has been used to create known landraces unique to different localities eg corn, melon, "Marijuana" and mangoes (since you would like to know). I'm am by no means trying to defend the lab made garbage being passed off as food today. However, I, like many farmers before me, take the time to observe my crop and different characteristics in my plants then breed for the traits I'd like to see in my field. Just like a goat or cattle farmer selects the best bucks or yows to improve their herd.
