Yellow dragonfruit, also known as yellow pitaya, is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America, now cultivated worldwide in regions with warm climates. This bright yellow fruit is revered for its mildly sweet taste and juicy, seed-filled interior. Packed with essential nutrients, it’s a rich source of vitamin C, which helps boost immunity, along with magnesium and potassium, which support muscle and nerve function. Yellow dragonfruit is high in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. The seeds are edible and contain healthy fatty acids, such as omega-3s.
