In case you want to extend the shelf life longer, you can apply the method of freezing dragon fruit. To freeze dragon fruit, do the following steps:
- Step 1: Peel and cut the dragon fruit into small pieces.
- Step 2: Arrange the dragon fruit on a tray, with a candle cover and put it in a stone apartment for about 4-5 hours to freeze each piece first.
