Description

As an avid fan of exotic fruits, I recently had the pleasure of trying the La Verne Pink dragonfruit (It is also sometimes called LaVern or Edna) for the first time. I was immediately drawn to its striking appearance, with a bright pink outer skin and small, green protrusions.

As I cut into the fruit, I was pleasantly surprised by its juicy and refreshing flesh. The flesh was a vibrant shade of pink, with small black seeds scattered throughout. Its flavor was mildly sweet and slightly tart, with a subtle floral undertone that made it truly unique.
