Tips for selecting white dragon fruit and how to keep it fresh longer

1. Selection Tips

1. Appearance: When choosing dragon fruit, try to choose those with a big belly, as they are usually fuller. There should be no black spots or yellowing on the skin. If there are any, it means that the dragon fruit is not very fresh.

2. Color: The skin of the pitaya is very bright in color. The brighter the color, the better. The small leaves on it should be green. Do not choose those that are yellow or dry.

3. Weight: If the appearance and color are good, you should choose a larger one. Generally, the smaller ones may taste worse. Another method is to put two dragon fruits of similar size in your hands, weigh them to determine their weight, and buy the heavier one. If it has an advantage in weight, it means that it has a higher moisture content and may be fresher.

2. Preservation Methods

After purchasing dragon fruit, if you cannot finish it, you can keep it in a cool place at home to keep it fresh. Be careful not to expose it to the sun during storage and do not let the temperature be too high. If it is cut, you can wrap it with plastic wrap and then put it in the refrigerator. But it should be eaten as soon as possible and not left for too long.
