Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit, or pitaya, is a tropical fruit from a climbing cactus known for its vibrant pink or yellow skin and sweet, white or red pulp speckled with black seeds. It is low in calories but rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and its taste is often described as a blend of kiwi and pear. The fruit is eaten fresh by cutting it open and scooping out the flesh, and it can also be added to smoothies, salads, and yogurt.
