How to choose dragon fruit and the price of dragon fruit

1. How to choose

1. Look at the color: You need to look at the color when buying many fruits, and dragon fruit is no exception. It is green when it first comes out, and then it will slowly turn red, which means it is ripe, so the redder it is, the better. But if the color is whitish, it means it has been stored for too long and is no longer fresh. Don't buy it.

2. Look at the roots: You can tell whether the dragon fruit is fresh by looking at its roots. Generally speaking, the roots of freshly picked dragon fruit are still relatively tender, but if left for too long, they will become withered. If the color is yellow and black, it not only means it is not fresh, but also tastes bad, tastes weird, and has no moisture.

3. Look at the shape: Generally speaking, dragon fruits are oval in shape. The fuller they are, the better they are developed and the more flesh they contain, so the sugar content will be slightly higher. Those that look thin and flat mean that they did not get enough nutrients during the growth period, so they taste bland.
