How to Eat Yellow Dragon Fruit (Pitahaya, Pitaya) | Taste Test

In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I will show you how to eat the yellow Dragon Fruit, or Pitahaya, Pitaya amarilla, Hylocereus megalanthus, and also do a taste test. Have you ever wondered what the yellow dragon fruit tastes like? Well, you have come to the right place, well at least what it tastes like to me. Taste is definitely subjective. I personally like the taste of the yellow dragonfruit more than the pink/red dragon fruit, but I like the look of the pink one better. Let's get started!

Where does the dragon fruit come from?

The Pitaya or Pitahaya (Dragon Fruit) is native to several countries in the Americas. But it is cultivated all over the world in tropical and subtropical regions like Southeast Asia, India, United States, Caribbean, Australia, etc.

I just had my first yellow dragon fruit, I’m am hooked. I ate it like the golden kiwi. Cut it in half and used a spoon to scoop it out. So sweet. Definitely plan to get more.

Just had my first yellow dragon fruit while watching this video. Wow, this fruit is so delicious. I'm hooked! Thanks for the info on how to eat it.

I am from Ecuador and I love Pitahaya! But make sure you eat half or less at a time. It sends you straight to the bathroom 😑😑 glad you liked them!!

My generous neighbour and friend❤️ introduced me to these unbelievably incredible tasting fruit. I also eat them with a teaspoon, just delicious! I have eaten the pink dragon fruit before, but definitely prefer the yellow skinned variety. INCREDIBLE TASTING FRUIT!❤️

Thank you for comparing them! I haven’t tried them yet, so now I know which to try first!

[DivinelyDominicaDCP]

I just tried it for the first time and it’s not bad at all. I watched this video to learn how to eat it but it was also educational as well. 👍🏽

[AL-tyru]

Yum! I’ve been eyeing these at my local grocery store since they’re kind of pricey. A little over $5 a lb. I bought some today and just devoured one! So good! 🤤

[donnamocko]

Can't wait to try these!! As usual, great video, Matt! Tfs!! God Bless!!🙇‍♀️💜

[risaamuro]

they’re hard to find up here in canada and are roughly $13 for two. i think they taste sweet like candy. apparently another health benefit are its laxative properties lol! love seeing your videos trying new stuff (:

[gabbimariecooking]

We grow the pink dragonfruit here in South Australia :D I've never seen a yellow one before, so cool!!

[karenrom]

Hi Matt, I’ve never tried Dragon Fruit before. But I certainly will soon! It looked so good.

[Lameaish]

Hey Matt I just bought one in these.. first time trying dragon fruit it was pretty good….thanks for sharing this on how to prepare it

[May-grbp]

£7.50 for three of these at Costco is costly, however they have to be imported from a long way again so it makes sense that they're this expensive.

They are delicious.

[edithmontelongo]

I'm hating because I really wanted that first bite! 😋

[thomasarcturus]

Matt is right! Soooo much better than Red Dragon Fruit. Yum.

[debraspranger]

Thank You! I had no idea how to eat one of these fruits.

[Victor-zwtb]

Delicious! They would be my favorite fruit by a long shot, but the seeds are annoying (albeit, they’re easier to chew than sunflower seeds).

[aprild]

Just bought one at Fred Meyers. They called them dragon berries. Can’t wait to try it.
