How To Cut Dragon Fruit (Step-By-Step Guide)

1. Halve: Place dragon fruit down on a flat surface. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice it in half lengthwise.
2. Remove Skin: Either scoop out fruit with a spoon by running a spoon along the edge of each half where the flesh meets the peel, OR peel. To peel, cut the dragon fruit halves lengthwise into quarters. Using your hands, lift the flesh away from the peel.

Cut The Fruit

1. Option 1 - Slice: Place it flat side down on a cutting board or counter, then slice it as thick or thin as you’d like with a chef’s knife.
2. Option 2 - Cube: Repeat the same slicing technique with ½-inch thick slices. Lay each slice on its side, cut it in half lengthwise, then into 1-inch cubes with a chef’s knife.
3. Option 3 - Sphere: Don’t peel the skin away from the dragon fruit. Use a melon baller to scoop out spheres from each half.
