Description
Dragon fruit grows on the Hylocereus cactus, whose flowers only open at night. The plant is native to southern Mexico and Central America. Today, it is grown all over the world. It is also known as pitaya or pitahaya. In Malaysia, the most widely available variety is the red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) which has a red purplish colour pulp with black edible seeds. It is slightly sweet and able to stain our hands red due to the presence of natural colourants & betacyanins. The attractive colour of the fruit makes it an excellent ingredient to turn into ice cream, juice, cocktails, jellies and smoothies.
Apart from that, it is a rich source of nutrition such as vitamin C, calcium, and phosphorus and possesses great antioxidant activity. Also, it is known to have beneficial effects in carbohydrate metabolism, strengthening of teeth and bones, strengthening the immune system and is used in the treatment of diabetes, and heart diseases, promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria, and maintaining healthy body weight.
