I just had one and was incredibly disappointed it just tasted like a kiwi without any flavor.

They only taste good when eaten close to where they grow. Probably within hours or very few days of picking them ripe from the plant.
The Taste is 100% different.
Surprisingly this is also a bit the case with bananas. But the export bananas at least taste ok in their different way. Exported Dragonfuit however taste like nothing and are only bought to look exotic but definitely not worth the taste.
I still think the dragon fruit we get imported in the US can be pretty tasty. Not the same as when I had it in Taiwan, but still tasty.
Like you're talking about, it's the same with other imported fruits like mangos. To be honest, even fruits like strawberries are pretty bland when you get them in the supermarket, compared to fresh picked. But sometimes you just want to nom a whole thing of strawberries. It's how I feel about dragon fruit.
So true. Where I live during the summer you have folks selling locally grown strawberries at the side of the road. Sometimes I'm driving along with the kids and we'll buy way too many strawberries for very reasonable money and then just.... nom a whole thing of strawberries.
Nom nom nom nom nom.
Not long now! I can practically smell them.
When I ate them in Vietnam they where my favorite fruit forever by far. And the red ones are the best there.
