Tropical Dragon Fruit 

We met up with Anderson Bissoon, a dragon fruit farmer that has been cultivating this amazing crop since 2017.
Dragon fruit is juicy with a slightly sweet taste that some describe as a cross between a kiwi, a pear, and a watermelon with the seeds having a nutty flavour. Dragon fruit is also said to have benefits such as being rich in antioxidants, naturally fat-free and high in fiber, helps lower your blood sugar, contains prebiotics, can strengthen your immune system and can boost your iron levels.
Initially we were asked over by Anderson to taste his hand in a back yard lime last year but it just never happened and he just mentioned that he grew dragon fruit and we just had to capture it. Talk about downplaying the situation...when we got there the scale of the plantation was breathtaking with over 400 plants. We wanted to capture how the crop is harvested from bloom to fruit and get a taste of course.
Special thanks to tropical dragon fruit for being incredibly hospitable and allowing us to film.
Ps: They make a mean smoked bread and pork!
