Dragon Fruits


We all know that dragon fruits are products of Vietnam.

Do you know how the tree of a Dragon Fruit looks like? Well, on a trip to Ayer Tawar, Perak, Malaysia, I was introduced to the Dragon Fruit Tree.

It turns out to be from a cactus family as you can see from the photo above.

You can see the dragon fruits hanging on the cactus branches.

The flesh of the dragon fruits is white in color with many small black seeds. They are high nutrition fruits and rich in Vitamin C.

A better view of the dragon fruits. Photo taken in the garden of a friend in Ayer Tawar, Perak, Malaysia.
