This is the yellow variety of Pitahaya. Its flesh is white sprinkled with edible seeds and we found it quite sweet. In Quito these were served at the breakfast buffet and I had my share of them every morning!
These are Taxo. In Quito these were served at the breakfast buffet. They are a member of the passionfruit family and are sometimes known in English as the banana passionfruit due to their elongated shape. The tangy, perfumed flavor is too tart for most so is usually used sweetened for juice or ice cream. I know I found it to tart for me.
This is Guava. In Quito these were served at the breakfast buffet. A good, refreshing fruit to start the day.
Yes, they have good pizza here in Cuenca although I still prefer a calzone. Mike loves his Pilsener with his pizza.
