Dragon Fruit

Dragon Fruit is the fruit of multiple "cactus" species that are originally native to Mexico.

There are 3 main types of Dragon Fruit:

-White-Fleshed Pitahaya: Pink-skinned fruit with white flesh (the most commonly seen dragon fruit.)

-Red-Fleshed Pitahaya: Red-skinned fruit with red flesh.

-Yellow Pitahaya: Yellow-skinned fruit with white flesh.

Dragon Fruits are a sweet treat that are low in calories and rich in antioxidants and other nutrients.  They are easy to consume when you cut them in half and eat the inside with a spoon.  The texture is similar to kiwi because of the little seeds.  The seeds have a nutty taste and are rich in lipids.  The flowers of the plant can also be eaten or made into tea.  I love refrigerate Dragon Fruit and eat it when it is cool.  It is a very refreshing treat.
