Red Pitahaya with white flesh

Red Pitahaya (Dragon Fruit), with white flesh

DESCRIPTION

The red Pitahaya fruit is a tropical superfood, very popular especially in Asia.

The white flesh of pitahaya is very juicy, with a sweet taste, similar to that of watermelon. The flesh is not fibrous.

This cactus fruit has a texture similar to that of kiwi. The taste is so similar to that of watermelon, that it gives the impression that it is crossed with it. The seeds have a slightly nutty taste.

Use

For a less intense taste, we recommend that you enjoy it with a cold and aromatic lemon juice or as a special ingredient in dishes. For a more decorative serving, it can be cut lengthwise or sliced like a watermelon. The seeds have a pleasant, nutty taste and contain many healthy substances, which can only be released into the body when they are broken.

Our tip: prepare the famous Pitahaya bowl:

Mix pitahaya with bananas, berries and a little coconut milk. Pour into a bowl and serve with chopped fruit, seeds and nuts. It can be a healthy breakfast or a snack between meals.

Enjoy!

Storage

In the fruit bowl in the kitchen it can last for about 3 days, and in the refrigerator, in a plastic bag it lasts for about 2 weeks. Once cut, the Dragon Fruit lasts very little, even if it is in the refrigerator, in a plastic bag. The recommendation is to cut it into cubes and keep it in the freezer.
