Soon, if commercial testing is successful, Dragon?s Eggs will be available for purchase at your local supermarket.
Dragon?s Eggs, Globes newspaper reported recently, are a new crossbred fruit developed by a team of researchers at the Institute for Agriculture & Applied Biology. The fruit, belonging to the cactus family, is reported to be the result of ?a Panamanian ?mother? and a Columbian ?father.?? The fruit requires a relatively limited amount of water - like the Israeli sabra cactus fruit - and ripens in the winter months, between November and February, according to Globes.
Physically, the fruit is red, has a scaly, thorn-covered peel and black, edible seeds. ?[C]onsumers,? reports the Israeli financial newspaper, ?will receive the fruit free of thorns and ready to eat.? It can be eaten out of the peel, sliced into wedges or eaten like the sabra. However, Globes notes, ?The leader of the University's team of researchers, Professor Mizrahi, noted that the Dragon Eggs shouldn't be stored in a refrigerator due to ?chilling injury? damage, but rather only cooled some two hours prior to serving.?
