Harvest - Dragon Fruit



Every once in a while, i have these at my backyard.



Lately i realised the cacti really look like green dragons. Not that i've seen a dragon before, but you get the  idea.



Dragon cactus grows fast, we have three bushes of it but only one that repeatedly gives fruits.



Usually we wait until the fruits become really really ripen before we pick them.



 Beside that i also like how it looks so i just keep them hanging for a few days.



We get about 5-7 fruits every harvest. For a year we get around 4-6 times harvesting.



That's about 12 kilograms of fiber with antioxidant, vitamin c, and potassium.



My favorite way to enjoy it fresh is just to cut it right away.



Ripe fruits tend to be darker and much sweeter than the ones we buy in the markets.



Have it with a dollop of greek yoghurt,



then top em with coco banana granola



Life is good. So good.
