Have you ever had dragon fruit? Jen from Tiny Urban Kitchen (a lovely blog!) has me convinced that I need to try dragon fruit, and fast ...
"After doing some research," she writes, "I realized that this stuff is truly a superfood. Not only is it low in calories and high in fiber, it's packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Studies have confirmed the idea that has been floating around for awhile, that dragon fruit actually helps lower blood glucose levels in those with hyperglycemia (elevated glucose levels)."
You can find this exotic fruit, which hails from the tropics and Asia, at specialty markets, and it's ready to eat, Jen says, when the skin "yields slightly when pressed, similar to a mango." Also, she says they taste better when chilled, and with a little squeeze of lemon.
