Our First Dragon Fruit!

Jai Ganesha!

After having several of these fascinating cactus plants in the aadheenam gardens for more than a few years, we've finally had one of them fruit. Just recently our monks found this bulky dragon fruit on one of these unique climbing cacti. And it was TASTY! This, usually subtle, airy-sweet fruit was full of tasty natural sugars which several monks were able to enjoy. We hope to see more of these colorful treats next time the plant fruits.

While you can\

t tell in the photo, this dargon fruit is roughly twice as big as the average one. '

This is what the inside of a dragon fruit looks like, for those who have never had one

And this is what the climbing cactus looks like (this isn\

t one of ours)'
