Fruit
White Flesh
S tier
White-flesh dragon fruit is the export default—pink bracted skin, snowy pulp, mild sweetness, and abundant tiny black seeds that add pop. Vietnam and other Asian producers ship it in volume; flavour is clean and watery-crisp rather than musky. Visual drama exceeds aromatic intensity in average supermarket fruit. Cube into salads, blend for pale-pink bowls, or eat chilled with lime. Choose fruit that yields slightly and shows even colour; avoid mould at the stem. Not a substitute for strongly flavoured tropicals—pair with passion fruit or mango to boost interest.
