Pitaya or strawberry pear or dragon fruit is a whimsical looking fruit grown all over Asia, Latin America and other tropical countries. The fruit belongs\u00a0to the cactus family and comes in a white or deep pink flesh, from the outside it has a bright magenta skin with soft green thorns. The inside can vary from white flesh with tiny black crunchy seeds or neon-psychedelic Barbie pink. In terms of taste its fairly bland almost like a kiwi but way less sweet.\u00a0Pitaya is rich in immune boosting vitamin C, iron, beta carotene, lycopene, prebiotic,\u00a0other vitamins, minerals and is mildly laxative.<\/p>\n
The growing popularity of this beautiful fruit has lead to the farming them in the United States bringing the price of the fruit a bit down. I found this at my local grocery store on sale and had to snag one of it. To extent the fruit I blended it with banana and other fruits to make a smoothie.<\/p>\n
