Trying a dragon fruit may open you to a new fruit to enjoy. Learn how simple it is to eat a dragon fruit (Pitahaya)!

Below is an example of them being ripened:
The seedlings from a related plant, the Pitaya, look similar to a succulent-type plant such as a cactus when starting out.

While fruit such as the Dragon Fruit may not seem like a favorite pet treat, some animals do like it!
*Dragon Fruit, including its fruit and the entire plant itself, is classified as non-toxic to cats according to the ASPCA.
It is easy to just eat the Dragon Fruit directly out of the fruit using a spoon, but if serving to others then it can be diced to add to the appeal since the look may be distracting for some people.
Enjoy your Dragon Fruit!
