Pitahaya or dragon fruit

My healthy and tasty snack 😋

Pitahaya is the fruit of cacti, and several different species. It is also called pitaya, strawberry pear and dragonfruit.

Like any fruit, pitahaya contains a large amount of fiber, including prebiotics. Fiber helps maintain intestinal microflora in optimal condition, and ultimately, good digestion. In addition, it can help prevent and combat heart and vascular diseases, obesity and even diabetes.

There are no fats in the fruits. By the way, in terms of calorie content, pitahaya is comparable to grapes, although the latter is often considered too sweet. In a separate article, they dispelled the myth about its calorie content, and in a conversation with a nutritionist-nutritionist, they even found out that grapes can be part of a plate of proper nutrition.

Fruit pulp can be:
🟢use in sorbets and other desserts, fruit salads, smoothies;
🟢add to yoghurts, juices, water or alcoholic cocktails;
🟢Freeze and serve with drinks instead of regular ice cubes.

Dragon fruit is shipped all over the world from regions where it is grown commercially. These are many countries in Southeast Asia, Hawaii, Mexico, Israel, northern Australia, Colombia and others.
