                                Native to southern Mexico and Central America, dragon fruit requires specific visual and tactile cues to determine its readiness. Knowing how to tell if a dragon fruit is ripe is crucial, as an unripe one is often flavorless, while a perfectly ripe one offers a delicate, sweet taste similar to a blend of kiwi and pear.
