Dragon Fruit Plant

Dragon Fruit is a unique and exotic fruit known for its striking appearance, sweet flavor, and nutrient-rich flesh. Often referred to as Pitaya, the fruit comes from a type of cactus and is prized for its vibrant skin and speckled flesh, which can range from white to pink or deep red, depending on the variety.

The Dragon Fruit plant is a fast-growing, climbing cactus that thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates. It has fleshy, green stems that produce large, fragrant white flowers, which bloom at night and develop into the fruit. The fruit itself is oval or pear-shaped, with a thick, leathery skin covered in scales. Inside, the flesh is sweet and mildly tart, dotted with tiny, edible black seeds. Dragon Fruit is often eaten fresh, added to smoothies, or used in desserts and salads.
