Dragonfruit, also known as pitaya, is a tropical fruit native to Central America but widely grown in Southeast Asia and other warm climates. Recognized for its vibrant pink or yellow skin and speckled white or magenta flesh, dragonfruit is mildly sweet and subtly crisp, making it a refreshing addition to many dishes. Rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, betalains, and carotenoids, this exotic fruit supports immune health and combats oxidative stress. It's low in calories and provides dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting overall gut health. Dragonfruit also contains magnesium, iron, and small amounts of beneficial fatty acids from its edible seeds. Though naturally sweet, it’s considered a low-sugar fruit, making it suitable for most diets. Its versatility allows it to complement smoothies, salads, and desserts. However, due to its high water content, it doesn’t offer significant protein or fat.
