Dragon fruit: A jewel of nature

In the arid and sunny corners of various regions of the world grows a fruit that seems to come from a fairy tale: the pitahaya. Also known as “dragon fruit” due to its exotic and unique appearance, the pitahaya belongs to the cactus family. Originally from Latin America, the pitahaya plant has found its home in various regions with hot and dry climates.

In addition to its striking appearance, this fruit also stands out for its unique and refreshing taste. It also features small, edible black seeds that add a crunch to the fruit-eating experience.

In terms of nutrition, pitahaya is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. These components contribute to strengthening the immune system, maintaining skin health and improving digestion. In addition, its low caloric content makes it a healthy option for those looking to take care of their diet.

The dragon fruit is an amazing example of plant adaptation to challenging environments. Its origins in arid climates have endowed it with the ability to survive in conditions of drought and high temperatures. This makes it a valuable option for regions where agriculture is difficult due to extreme weather conditions.

The characteristics of this product have boosted its popularity on the international culinary scene. From smoothies and desserts to salads and entrees, chefs are incorporating this exotic fruit into their creations, adding a touch of color and unique flavor to their dishes.

From Unexport we are very happy to have expanded our catalog this summer with the incorporation of the pitahaya for its commercialization during the entire period covered by the production calendar.
