- (Vince) Today, you'll be eating this.
- I've seen these before, but I don't even know what this is.
- What is this?
- Oh, I love these.
They taste really good in a smoothie.
Pitaya?
Pitaya, is that it?
- Oh my gosh. They're so weird-shaped.
- They're pink with spike-a-ma-jigs.
- It's kind of like avocado.
Kind of hard, but kind of squishy.
- It smells like a radish.
Like fresh fruit out of the garden.
- It looks like a mini-pineapple that's pink.
Dragon fruit!
- Why am I eating dragon fruit?
I've just seen it before on YouTube and TV.
- It's like a dragon fruit, I think.
So I'm not scared to eat this.
- (Vince) We have a freshly cut piece for you to try.
- Ewwwwwwww!
It looks disgusting inside of it.
- This looks like the inside of a kiwi.
- I didn't expect it to have seeds.
I thought it would be something you'd actually bite into.
- It's a completely different color scheme,
and it looks more gelatin-like than it is on the outside.
- It still had to do this, even though I know it's sorta good.
- Deeeh. Get off!
Tastes like a watermelon.
I'm not a big fan of watermelon.
- Not as good as I expected it to be.
(anxious sigh)
(nibbling)
- Oh, that's mushy!
It tastes kinda like a pear.
- Okay, yeah, it's good.
I'd say a cantaloupe kind of tastes like it.
(fork clinks glass)
- It really doesn't taste that bad.
Like, if you put chia seeds inside of a kiwi,
that's what it tastes like.
- Hmm! Pretty good.
- It's yummy.
It's really nice how the seeds are popping in your mouth.
- It's good.
The texture is like a strawberry 'cause of the seeds.
It's good. (chuckling)
- I like it.
I could see me going somewhere like Hawaii
or the Amazon and be eating this.
- I don't like it.
Why don't you guys just let me eat spaghetti or something?
- (Vince) You just tried pitaya. - Wha--?
- What?
- (Vince) Better known as dragon fruit.
- Oh, that's what the other name for it was.
- It kinda looks like a tropical fruit 'cause of the weird shape,
like a pineapple's kinda shaped weirdly like this.
- (Vince) They're called dragon fruit in America
because their names in Asian countries translate to things
like "dragon scale" or "dragon crystal."
- Okay.
- Wait, were dragons real?
- (Vince) Why do you think they call it those things?
- Looks like a dragon egg with a leaf sticking out of it.
- I totally see scale.
Because there's some full scales here.
- If it was called "dragon crystal," I would just take it home
and I'd be like, "See my crystal?"
- (Vince) Finally, do you recommend people try dragon fruit?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- No! I don't like the taste.
- Yes.
I know it looks weird, but try it.
- Yes.
It's kind of bland, but it has an okay flavor.
- Yes.
Even though it does not look very appetizing on the outside,
it actually tastes pretty good.
- Yes.
It's a different taste that probably you have never tasted before.
- Totally.
It's one of the most exotic fruits I've ever tasted.
I want more of this!
- Thanks for watching us eat dragon fruit on the React channel.
- What food should we eat next?
Let us know in the comments.
- Subscribe. Our episodes are fire-breathing!
- Goodbye! See ya.
