Sweet and very big!

One serving contained three dragon fruits, all quite large They seemed fresher than those in the gift box (You definitely get what you pay for ). The fruits were shorter and rounder; this shape usually has thinner skin and more flesh than longer, thinner fruits The skin was predominantly reddish-pink, with the edges of the green scales starting to turn yellow, indicating the fruit was fully developed and had accumulated a good amount of sugar! I cut one open and scooped it out with a spoon as soon as I got it
