Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit grown throughout the world. It can have either bright pink or yellow skin that is covered with what looks like prickly scales. But that's just the dragon fruit's exterior. The real surprise is what's inside. Dragon fruit flesh is white, sometimes magenta, with tiny black seeds.

火龙果是一种生长在世界各地的热带水果。它可能有亮粉色或黄色的皮肤，上面覆盖着看起来像带刺的鳞片。但这只是火龙果的外表。真正令人惊讶的是里面的东西。火龙果果肉白色，有时呈洋红色，有黑色的小籽。

The white flesh has a crunchy texture and tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi. It's sometimes called a strawberry pear. The flesh contains lycopene, which is associated with lowered risk for cancer and heart disease.

白色的果肉口感酥脆，尝起来像是梨和猕猴桃的混合体。它有时被称为草莓梨。果肉中含有番茄红素，可以降低患癌症和心脏病的风险。

Dragon fruits are often found in Asian markets, but depending on where you live, you might find them in your local grocery store or farmers markets. They are imported and can be expensive.

火龙果通常可以在亚洲市场上找到，但取决于你住在哪里，你可能会在当地的杂货店或农贸市场上找到它们。它们是进口的，价格昂贵。

So that's what they look like and where you find them, but how do you eat dragon fruit and what do they taste like?

这就是火龙果的样子和产地，但是怎么吃火龙果呢?火龙果是什么味道呢?

When you're purchasing dragon fruits, look for ripe fruit. The ideal dragon fruits will be bright with evenly colored skin still firm to the touch. If the points on the leaves look brown or wilted, it's probably over-ripe. That rule of thumb can also help you avoid dull or mushy fruit.

当你购买火龙果时，选择成熟的水果。理想的火龙果色泽鲜亮，果皮颜色均匀，摸起来很紧实。如果叶子上的尖端看起来发黄或枯萎，那它可能熟过头了。这条经验法则也可以帮助你避免吃暗淡或糊状的水果。

Sliced or chopped dragon fruit is ideal for dishes like fruit salad and smoothies.

切片或切碎的火龙果是水果沙拉和冰沙等菜肴的理想选择。

Grab a sharp knife and follow these easy instructions to cut your fruit:

拿一把锋利的刀，按照以下简单的步骤来切水果:

1. Slice a ripe dragon fruit in half down the center. 把成熟的火龙果从中间切成两半。
2. Pull the thick, waxy skin away from the rest of the fruit. 把厚糯的果皮从剩下的水果上扯下来。
3. Use a large spoon or melon baller to scoop the flesh out of each half. 用大勺子或挖瓜球把瓜瓤挖出来。
4. Place each half face-down on a cutting board. 把它们半面朝下放在砧板上。
5. Cut the dragon fruit flesh into cubes or slice as desired. 将火龙果果肉切成方块或切片。

Don't cut the dragon fruit until you're ready to eat it. And remember, the white flesh is the only part of the dragon fruit you eat. Once it's cut, store dragon fruit in the refrigerator in an airtight container for maximum freshness. It will stay fresh for a couple of days.

不要切火龙果，直到你准备吃它。记住，火龙果只有白色的果肉可以吃。切开后，火龙果要放在冰箱的密封容器中，以保持最大程度的新鲜度。它可以保鲜几天。

As we mentioned, dragon fruit taste is mild and fresh, and sometimes the most basic way to eat it is best. You can simply slice the dragon fruit as you would an apple and drizzle it with honey. Or add small chunks to a tropical fruit salad or a smoothie with berries, bananas and coconut milk.

前面说过，火龙果口感温和清新，有时候最基本的吃法才是最好的。你可以像切苹果一样把火龙果切片，然后淋上蜂蜜。或者在热带水果沙拉或浆果、香蕉和椰奶的冰沙中加入一小块。

Dragon fruit slices make striking additions to savory salads as well. Some fans enjoy dragon fruit flesh eaten directly out of the peel.

火龙果片也可以添加到美味的沙拉中。一些火龙果粉丝喜欢直接剥皮吃火龙果。

The tasty treat also has some sweet health benefits. Dragon fruit is a low-sugar snack with lots of fiber and vitamins C and A. It does, however, lose its nutritional value, flavor and beauty when it's cooked, so stick to eating it raw.

这种美味的食物对健康也有好处。火龙果是一种低糖零食，富含纤维、维生素C和维生素a。然而，火龙果煮熟后会失去其营养价值、风味和美感，所以要坚持生吃。
