Purple dragon fruit from seed |
I havent even tried the purple/pink ones yet, but I tell ya, it will be hard to beat the yellow dragon fruit.
The yellow pitaya is so sweet, I find the taste similar to a table grape but 10x the punch, the seeds are an interesting addition, they have a little more crunch then kiwi seeds do.
We had to make multiple orders online as only a few varieties sprouted ( there were no specific variety names, just white dragon fruit, purple dragon fruit and the yellow one I bought from the store ).
We went through one supplier in Hawaii and nothing sprouted at all, I found it to be very suspicious as all my other seed packs sprouted quite easily, so after some researching We came across a post where someone said they irradiate most products coming out of Hawaii, We cant confirm this yet but be advised, Hawaii is already known for there GMO invaded island, most people We know avoid food from there as its the playground for genetically engineered crops,
not to say We here in Canada arent screwing around with this as well.
With the way this world is headed on GMOs, We figure its just a mater of time before they go after dragon fruits, so weve been in a scramble to collect all the species we can, in the hopes of preserving some original genetic material for future generations.
