To remove the flesh from the skin, either scoop it out with a spoon or peel the skin off. To scoop it out, slide the spoon inside the edge of the dragon fruit, removing it from its shell in one piece. Alternatively, score the skin slightly on the edge and use your fingers to peel the skin off the flesh.

Place the flesh of the dragon fruit flat side down on the cutting board and cut it into 1-inch slices. Leave it in slices or turn it sideways and cut it into 1-inch cubes. You can also use a melon baller to scoop the flesh out of an unpeeled dragon fruit.

Enjoy immediately as fresh dragon fruit or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To freeze it, lay the cut dragon fruit on a large baking sheet and flash-freeze for 30 minutes. Put frozen dragon fruit in your air-tight container and store it for up to six months.
