Snakefruit
The outside is a hard, almost crispy, very thin "snake skin." The fruit inside is about the consistency of an apple, but not juicy at all. In the center is a single pit.
Dragon Fruit and Banana
Dragon fruit grows locally, so it's always available to us. It's an intense magenta color inside, and a magenta/pink color outside. The skin is not at all prickly and is quite easy to slice through. The fruit texture is like a kiwi and takes no effort to scoop out. The taste is very pleasant - mild and sweet. We also get local bananas. They are much smaller than those in America. The taste is just amazing! Yes, they taste like bananas, but with something like a vanilla flavor and tropical fruit flavor, too. The banana flesh is not as soft or slippery, but rather like ripe plantain. I took the photo using the same cup's saucer and my bamboo spoon to give you a sense of the size. By the way, our rooms each have two ceramic tea cups/saucers and two spoons. Since we didn't receive any plates in our coconut/bamboo food kit, I used the saucer - which I then washed, of course.
