- Fresh and delicious red dragon fruit will have a large round shape, shiny skin, with a deep and uniform red-pink color.
- You should choose red dragon fruits with green, bright stems and ears; when you gently bend them with your hand, they should have a certain elasticity because these fruits are still fresh and just harvested, so they won’t be overripe.
- You should not choose fruits with bruised or damaged skin; if you press them gently with your hand and they feel soft and lack elasticity, or if the stems are dry, because these fruits are often old and no longer fresh.
