What's the Deal With Dragon Fruit?
火龍果到底怎么回事？
The main reason for dragon fruit's preciousness is that it lives only one night!
火龍果珍貴的原因是只能存活一夜！
First, a climbing cactus produces a beautiful pink or yellow flower.
首先，一棵攀援性的仙人掌植株開出漂亮的粉色或黃色的花朵。
Sometimes called "moonflower" or "Queen of the night," the plant blooms from evening to midnight, only to wither in strong sunlight.
有時也被人稱為“月光花”或者“曇花”，這種植物的特點就是傍晚到午夜時開花，日照強烈則凋零。
During the night, the pungent flowers are pollinated by moths and bats.
夜間，飛蛾和蝙蝠為這種刺激性的花朵授粉。
Although the flower dies, the cactus bears pitaya fruit about six times every year.
即便花朵凋零，但是仙人掌植株仍舊可以一年結六次火龍果。
Like other red fruits, dragon fruit contains lycopene,
與其他的紅色果實一樣，火龍果也含有大量的番茄素，

It's best eaten chilled, chopped into cubes and added to fruit salad or blended into a refreshing drink or smoothie.
最佳的食用方法是將其冷凍后切成小塊加入水果沙拉里食用，或者直接放入飲料和冰沙里。
This may become your new favorite fruit, and you don't even have to slay a dragon.
