Dragon fruit (also known as pitaya or pitahaya) is a vibrant, tropical botanical berry that grows on climbing cactuses originating from Central and South America. It features a mildly sweet, refreshing flavor comparable to a cross between a kiwi and a pear, and is packed with fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.Varieties & CostWhite/Red Flesh: The most common varieties (red skin with white or dark pink pulp) generally cost between 64 INR and 116 INR per piece depending on imports and sizing.Yellow Skin: Rarer yellow-skinned varieties tend to have higher natural sugar content.Selection & PreparationPicking: Look for bright, evenly colored skin that yields slightly to gentle pressure (like a ripe avocado) and feels heavy for its size.Eating: Rinse the exterior, slice the fruit lengthwise, and either scoop out the flesh with a spoon or peel the leathery skin away. The tiny black seeds are fully edible and add a pleasant crunch.Nutrition Highlights (Per 100g)
