    Where Can I Buy Dragon Fruit?

    Many grocery stores carry fresh dragon fruit, you just need to look when they are in season! Dragon fruit ripens from the early summer through mid fall.

    The season spans for about 5 months so you should be able to find fresh dragon fruit for most of the year in your grocery store.

    If you can’t find fresh dragon fruit, look for frozen fruit. Frozen dragon fruit can be found in the freezer aisle along with all the other frozen fruits. It is typically peeled and cubed before being frozen.

    You can use the cubed dragon fruit just like fresh. If you can only find dragon fruit puree, that will work for this recipe too! In fact, the frozen puree is perfect.

    Now, if you can’t find fresh dragon fruit and you can’t find frozen puree, there is still an option for you. Dragon fruit powder! You can order dragon fruit powder online and use it to make fantastic drinks.

    Replace one cup of dragon fruit puree with one tablespoon of dragon fruit powder plus  ½ cup extra grape juice or coconut milk. The drink will look delicious, taste delicious and it is much easier to keep dragon fruit powder on hand.

    You never need to worry about buying fresh dragon fruit when you have the powder on hand!
