Discribe about the fruit.

Nutrient-packed, delicious, beautiful to look at, attractive and highly nutritious dragon fruit. A fruit that is very enjoyable for all, young and old. This fruit is involved in the processes necessary to convert food into energy, muscle contraction, bone formation, immunity, and building the body's DNA.

Dragon fruit is a kind of fake-mansa fruit. The dragon tree looks like a cactus. The tree grows to 1.5Ñ 2.5 m tall. The dragon tree only blooms at night. The flowers are elongated white and yellow. The fruit is oval and bright pink in color. Inside the fruit are small soft seeds similar to Kalijira.

Have you eaten this fruit before? In your opinion, when is the right time to eat this fruit that is beneficial to our health?

Yes, I've had dragon fruit many times before. I regularly eat these fruits. Although the morning is considered the best time to eat dragon fruit because the digestive system quickly breaks down the sugar in the fruit and provides it with all the nutrients, dragon fruit can be eaten as a midday meal or even at night. In fact, when at night, it helps induce better sleep.

Benefits: Nutrient-rich tasty dragon fruit. The nutritional value of this fruit helps to keep our body healthy and strong and cures various diseases. Dragon fruits are high in magnesium. It reduces the risk of heart disease, hypertension and stroke. This results in a large amount of vitamin C. It boosts the body's immunity. Moreover, other diseases that it helps cure are also of lesser magnitude.

Do you buy this fruit from the market or have your own fruit trees? How much is it worth in your area ?

I bought the dragon fruit from my nearest market and ate it. I don't have any dragon fruit trees of my own. But I have a wish that one day I will plant a dragon fruit tree myself, if such an environment exists. Its price in the market of my area is 350 taka per kg in Bangladeshi taka which steemit price is 16.36 steem.

How was your reaction after eating this fruit? What is your opinion about its taste?

Dragon fruit is mainly during the summer. It is very easy to cultivate. But dragon fruit should be cultivated in a sunny place. Dragon fruit is red. However, some dragon fruits are white on the inside, while others are red on the inside. Dragon fruit is very delicious. As dragon fruit is rich in nutrients, it is essential for our body. To me, it tasted like a combination of sweet and sour. I quite liked it.

Would you like to plant this fruit tree at home or suggest us to plant it? Why?

Yes, of course, I want to plant dragon fruit if I can find a place to grow it. And those who will cultivate the dragon again My advice for them, they can take cuttings of dragon fruit. Cuttings from non-fruiting plants may result in delayed fruiting or even no fruiting. Therefore, before planting the fruit trees, cuttings should be taken from old branches and should be at least one hand in length.
