I hope people at home know that the ones on the mainland that you can buy at the grocery store are much different than if you can buy them where they're grown. The fruit only has a shelf life of 3 days so to stock grocery stores they're picked super premature and then preserved, so there's barely any flavour. If you get a chance to try them where they're actually grown it's a world of difference!

I've had the same experience as your coworker. I've tried them twice to see if it was a fluke but really big disappointment for such a cool looking fruit. I live in the northwest though so they probably aren't fresh. I guess I'll never get the good fresh flavor unless I travel to Central America or Southeast Asia.

@@downunderfulla6001 yeah I just received my red red order, it cost about 6,20 euros a piece and it still had no flavour. A cactusfruit is vert tasty but in the countries they grow they are even more sweet and that difference makes it amazing. The brain does receive more flavour because the country has something with the air or pressure or height idk anymore. But would a red red taste like a cactus fruit? Or does it have almost no flavour? Is it just my order because they are underipe cut and then dilvered to me? That's something I would like to know. Thx you

Haribo Berries I believe you are comparing the taste between the sugar dragon and the candy berries you mentioned. I really love those candy berries a lot so if I happen to find a sugar dragon. I'll keep its seeds to grow. I have just had the vietnam white, Ecuador palora, and I think the red laverne. Vietnam white tasted like water to me and didnt have much taste. I had the red laverne, but it's been maybe 2 years since I've had one and I cant remember the taste. The Ecuador parlora I just had today. It taste like the opposite of a kiwi flavor to me. A kiwi is very tart with little sweetness, so the Ecuador Palora tasted very sweet light sugar with little tartness to it. I have saved seeds for the Vietnam white and the Ecuador Palora. As of rn I currently have the Vietnam White in a germinating sprout stage which makes me very excited since this is the first time in my life I'm growing plants from the seed by myself and I'm very excited. I just started to prep the Ecuador Palora for their germination rn and and waiting patiently. I'm just excited and this gives me something to do while I'm currently in quarantine too as well doing this COVID-19 pandemic.

Not sure what the other one was, still trying to figure that one out but I may like it better cold, trying again tomorrow. What fun! :)
