WHAT IS DRAGON FRUIT?

Dragon Fruit, also known as Pitaya, Pithaya, Pitahaya, or Strawberry Pear is a superfruit indigenous to Central and South America that is now grown all over the world.


WAIT! PITAYA IS THE SAME?

Yes! Pitaya was first discovered in Central America, centuries ago, and has traveled to all corners of the globe. Early missionaries brought Pitaya to Asia where it has since been renamed and is more commonly known as, Dragon Fruit.

SHOULDN'T DRAGON FRUIT BE WHITE ON THE INSIDE?

Some species of Dragon Fruit have white flesh, or pulp, on the inside. Here at Pitaya Foods, we only harvest the red flesh Dragon Fruit, which is richer in nutrients, flavor, and, of course, color.


WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

Dragon Fruit has a faint, sweet taste much like an earthy watermelon. All of its seeds give it the consistency of a kiwi.
