Sensory evaluation

          After having tried it I came up to multiple conclusions:

Unlike most fruit it does not contain a star in the middle if you cut it horizontally, which from my experience is quite rare. Also in my opinion, after the removal of the skin/leafs, the red outer ring part of the fruit is what requires an acquired taste. But let’s start from the beginning:

• White Dragon Fruit:

         First of all the fruit has a bit of a crunch (sort of like watermelon but with less crunchiness) to it when you eat it as I mentioned in my earlier memories. Its sweetness however is not as hidden as I remember it. Its sweetness isn’t concentrated at the bottom (like pineapple) but in the middle (the more you bite in the bite in the middle the sweeter it is). Also after having tried it once with the red skin and once without the red skin, I have come to the conclusion that the “red part” of the fruit is what requires an acquired taste. The red (unlike the white) doesn’t contain have much of a bite but more a mellow texture like that of ripe cantaloupe. However I believe that most of its healthy nutritional properties is in the red. The fruit is not bitter, or sour or salty; just sweet with a bit of umami if you eat the red and the white together.

• Red Dragon Fruit:

The Red Dragon Fruit is the same as the white one with a few exceptions. The first one being that it is red of course. The other one being that it has a bit less of a crunch to it than the white, and finally the third one being that it seems sweeter than its White equivalent.

• Comparison:

After having a slice of each next to one another I can definitely conquer that the red one is sweeter.
