its just that one fruit..that a member on here has as their pic..and in the pic its split in half and a spoon is scooping out the inside and the inside looks like sorbet.

Are you talking about Little Mango's avatar? http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/member.php?u=10267

She said it was a dragon fruit - but her's wasn't as red as the one you pictured so I'm not sure if that's who you're referring to.

Yup, they are dragon fruits.

They are quite nice. The texture kind of reminds me of a kiwi except it hasn't got as much water content:)

They are YUMMY!! Not too sweet - yeah - kinda 'kiwi-like' but no real 'tart' ness like kiwi's can sometimes have. Very delicious!

I always thought they would look so pretty if you served dessert in them at a raw food party! :D

(Not that they don't look pretty anyway!)

I was suprised finding them in my local supermarket. You can try at an Asian market if there is one near to you. That was also the first day I tried a Sharon Fruit....and they are gorgeous!

I had it once. Wasn't blown away by it. I thought it was kind of bland.
