To cut a dragon fruit, start by slicing it in half lengthwise with a sharp knife from the top to the stem. The outer skin is not very tough, so this should be easy. After halving, you can remove the flesh by either scooping it out with a spoon like an avocado or peeling back the skin from the flesh if you cut the halves into quarters. Once the flesh is separated, cut it into slices, cubes, or even scoop it into spheres using a melon baller, depending on preference. Here is a step-by-step summary:
- Place dragon fruit on a cutting board.
- Slice in half lengthwise from top to stem.
- Remove the flesh by scooping it out with a spoon or peeling the skin back.
- Cut the flesh into slices, cubes, or balls.
This method works well and makes it easy to enjoy the sweet, edible part inside the bright exterior of the dragon fruit.
