Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a tropical fruit celebrated for its vibrant pink or yellow skin and speckled white or magenta flesh. Native to Central America and widely grown in Southeast Asia and other tropical regions, dragon fruit has a mildly sweet flavor and a refreshing crunch from its tiny black seeds. It is low in calories and packed with nutrients, including vitamin C, magnesium, iron, and fiber. Its high antioxidant content, particularly from betalains and flavonoids, supports immune health and reduces inflammation. Dragon fruit is also hydrating due to its high water content. While naturally low in sugar, it makes a great addition to fruit salads, smoothies, or desserts. Though it's generally considered healthy, portion control is key as part of a balanced diet.
