Best way to enjoy your dragon fruits?
EAT THEM COLD!!
You can also cut them in cubes and freeze them!

The crisp and slightly sweet taste of the fruit is also more enhanced when it is served cold, making it a perfect treat on a hot day. The vibrant pink, red or white flesh of the dragon fruit becomes even more appealing and appetizing when it is cold, making it a delightful and refreshing snack or dessert option.
