    My house has them growing in the front yard, I wasn't sure when to pick then. Some people say their aren't that great but I just ate one fresh and it's almost identical to the taste of Kiwi but more sweeter and less tangy.

    Hi Produce Guy! I just moved into a house that had a fig tree. They're coming off the tree looking great, but we don't have any idea what to so with them! Can you make an episode on figs, please?

    • @YourProduceGuy
      @YourProduceGuy  10 років тому +14

      I can and would love to, but not sure I can get to it in time for your use this season. I love figs...SO MUCH!! We had a tree in our backyard in CA when I was growing up and they were just delightful. So good right off the tree and of course they are great as a dried fruit.

    I really like Dragon Fruit. I prefer the red fleshed one more. Especially when using them in a smoothie. But since our frutique burnt down we can only get what the grocery store brings in and that is the white flesh fruit.

    Also, just want to say...thank you, Mr. Produce Guy, for all your hard work, time and efforts in teaching us all about the various produce out there. I've watched your video after video after video this morning- all interesting! Ha, yes, a lot of unregretable time spent here but I must go feed my hubby breakfast now. I'm new...I've subscribed too! Just thought a big THANKS was in order seeing all I've learned from you already. Btw, hubby & I are into juicing (watched Joe Cross's 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' documentary; hubby's a diabetic; juicing has helped decrease his insulin shots- Amazing!) so the knowledge I've gained from you WILL GO A LONG WAYS! So thanks very much, Mr. Produce Guy!!😉

      Ah a Texan, They should sell DRAGON Fruit in most of the Central Texas stores. I am a native and recently moved to philly. I have my mother ship me some along with big red which is scarce here in Philly. So if your near the Baylor or Temple Texas HEB they should have them. Not sure about Harker Heights or Killeen stores. Good luck on your searches.

    In Viet Nam they are very common, espeacialy in Binh Thuan province where you can see them everywhere and Binh Thuan is the most place dragon fruit can be grown very well. Moreover we also have blue fleshed and yellow peel but they are not too common. :))

Another was of a dragon fruit sorbet, served in the pretty red hollowed out halves. Yum. You've got a great friend down there in Homestead, Florida, our Produce Guy! :0)

    • @YourProduceGuy
      @YourProduceGuy  10 років тому +3

      That would be a challenge at the moment as I don't have a source for a fresh one. Honesty, I have never worked with them and in fact saw them fresh on our trip to the Philippines in March but never got the courage up to try one. Funny thing, if you check out the photo section on the Facebook page, you can see a sign on the door of our hotel room that said "no pets or durian fruit allowed in the room." So, that was fun. I will see what I can do.

    I like Dragon Fruit a lot. Not sure if it is because I like dragons or the fruit - perhaps a little of both. :p I would have to check out their growing practices before I ordered anything. They sound a lot like the prickly pears that grow wild all around me. Maybe I should just try to grow my own dragon fruit.
