Red dragon fruit, 1 pc.

Where I come from!

The dragon fruit, also known as pitahaya, presumably originated in southern Mexico. It now grows in all tropical climate zones worldwide. Dragon fruit is primarily cultivated in Asia. Other growing countries include Nicaragua, Israel, Vietnam, and many more.

Interesting facts about the ingredients:

Dragon fruits contain fewer calories due to their high water content. They also offer iron, calcium, and phosphorus.

How to store me correctly!

It's best to store dragon fruit at room temperature. Attention: It's best to store it upright, meaning upside down or even hanging. This prevents bruising.

How to tell I'm ripe!

The dragon fruit is ripe when it glows pink and yields to light pressure. The peel should then be easy to remove.

Uses

Pitahaya is great in fruit salads, savory salads, with raw ham, cheese, and also with fish.
