Pitaya or Dragonfruit: This Year’s Trendiest New Fruit

If you’re new to pitaya, it’s a fruit native to Central and South America that’s now commonly grown in southeast Asia. Although it looks tropical, like something out of a rainforest, pitaya is actually the fruit of a kind of cactus and can grow in dry, desert regions.

Pitaya has a very subtle sweetness, similar to an earthy watermelon. White-fleshed pitaya is milder, while red-fleshed pitaya has a richer flavor. Pitaya grown in drier regions tends to be more sour. The flesh is juicy with crunchy, black seeds – very similar to kiwi in texture!
