Pitaya is a superfruit native to the tropical regions of South America. The fruit has since spread to all corners of the world. Its outer skin is cactus-like and resembles the scales of a mythical dragon. In Asia, Pitaya was therefore given a more fitting and now better-known name: dragon fruit. Pitaya is very rich in nutrients, and this pure, high-quality powder makes it easy to enjoy them too!
Pitaya powder packed with nutrients
Dragon fruit comes in two varieties: one with pink skin and white flesh, and one with pink skin and red flesh. The red variety is many times richer in nutrients and flavour than the white variety. This is therefore the fruit to choose if you want to enjoy the benefits of dragon fruit. This red Pitaya is packed with nutrients, including fibre, vitamins C, B1, B2 and E, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids from the seeds (source). This makes red dragon fruit an ideal addition to a healthy diet.
This powder from our own brand is made from the dragon fruit variety mentioned above, with pink skin and red flesh (Hylocereus polyrhizus), which offers the highest nutritional value. The powder is made from freeze-dried organic dragon fruit.
