Dragon Fruit

When we went to Lulu Hypermarket for our weekly marketing, we saw some new,uncommon fruit.It was the Dragon Fruit. We had never seen it before nor had we tasted it. So felt the urge to buy it. It tasted wonderful, sweet and crunchy,something like kiwi with its black small seeds.

Also known as Pitaya or Pitahaya, Dragon fruit is a beautiful fruit grown in South East Asia,Mexico, Central and South America and Israel. The plant is actually a type of cactus and the fruit comes in 3colours....2 have pink skin but with different colored flesh(one white, the other red),while another type is yellow with white flesh.The fruit is very good for health as it is low in calories and offers numerous nutrients including Vitamin C,phosphorus,calcium,plus fiber and antioxidants.
