EXPLAINED: Fire up the dragon fruit it s good for your health | Vintage Vibes

Look for dragon fruit during peak season, about June through October. Choose those with brightly colored skin and few, if any, brown spots. (Dreamstime/TNS)

Fortunately, the dragon fruit’s only shared trait with its fierce, fire-breathing namesake, is its wild appearance. This bright red or yellow fruit with leathery skin and green scale-like spikes surrounds a mildly sweet and beautiful pink or white flesh.

This tropical cactus fruit traces back to Central and South America and ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
