Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) Powder (Organic)

Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is an exotic looking plant belonging to the cactus family that bears attractive brightly coloured fruits. Its name comes from the green scales similar to that of a dragon which cover its smooth fuchsia or dark red skin. Slicing the fruit reveals a soft, creamy white or deep red flesh dotted with hundreds of tiny edible black seeds. With a taste described as somewhere between a kiwi and a pear, Dragon fruit is processed into a mild delicious-tasting powder which can be added to many functional foods and beverages loading them with good amounts of health-promoting nutrients.
