This is a dragon fruit, and it is simply one of the most beautiful fruits around. Surprisingly, it comes from several species of cactus. Also known as the pitaya, it is native to Mexico, Central America, and South America; although, they are also cultivated in a number of Asian countries such as Taiwan, Thailand, and the Phillipines. Depending on the type, they can have either a sour or sweet, yet delicate, flavor. The texture is akin to that of a kiwi, and whichever variety you choose, their beauty and rarety make them a show-stopper. Here's how to serve:

It’s a fruit so it’s edible? I have never seen such thing in my entire life. I don’t think I can dare to eat it.

The fruit looks pretty on the outside but weird looking on the inside. I’m really curious of the taste.

Actually, there are a number of varieties, and they very slightly in taste... most have a sweet, delicate flavor. As for when/where to find it, it is very much a seasonal fruit, but can be found throughout the world (including the States); just inquire with your specialty grocer-although this year, we actually saw it pop up in a giant chain grocery!
