This must be the most amazing fruit we have ever seen and so just had to buy some. They were for sale on market day in Cadiar on Tuesday, the man said they are called corazon de dragon - dragons hearts - he cut one open for us to try, so we bought a couple, partly so we could take a picture for this blog! John googled the fruit, it comes from a cactus, a big cactus, which looked a bit like a Christmas cactus to me but much larger. Similar shape of leaf. It is eaten as shown, cut in half and scooped out with a spoon, it tastes similar to melon. I'm wondering whether to save some seeds and try our luck growing them here although they are a tropical fruit.
We've been here 6 years now and it's the first time we've seen any fruit quite so unusual. Anyone else ever seen this before????
