I'll wait and see what color I have when it ripens.)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789535627537515126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9786459.post-71630996531508635622010-10-06T11:08:01.157-07:002010-10-06T11:08:01.157-07:00I miss Pitaya- it's in the supermarkets here, ...I miss Pitaya- it's in the supermarkets here, but at such an exhorbitant price that I dare not indulge.Lomagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273397354830985024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9786459.post-47475964912270131092010-09-23T06:11:45.400-07:002010-09-23T06:11:45.400-07:00Serapio, I think the key for nopales is to have en...Serapio, I think the key for nopales is to have enough at one time to send through a juicer. Then I especially like to blend the juice with milk. To me, the flavors are not similar. Pitaya is more delicate, sweet, and subtle. I prefer the yellow pitaya to the Chinese dragon, but I am just thrilled to finally have one of either.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789535627537515126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9786459.post-88391995304129033252010-09-22T23:44:38.832-07:002010-09-22T23:44:38.832-07:0030 days?
