Selecting the fruit is very simple. Look for full-bodied, full colored fruits which are free from any moldy spots. You can store the Papaya fruits in refrigerators, unwashed for up to five days.

 

Ways of eating the dragon fruit are as many as the medicinal values of the fruits. If you relish eating them fresh, you can peel off the skin by spooning it, just the same way you do to a papaya. Equally, you can slice the pitaya, blend in a smoothie and eat with lime or lemon or better still add to your fresh fruit salad. You can eat it chilled or cold, the choice is all yours but what you should know is that it is mandatory to eat the pitaya fruit!
