There are tropical fruits like avocado, pineapple, or kiwi that are already part of our diet, but there is another kind of exotic fruit that is rapidly becoming part of citizens' consumption habits.
One of the latest to arrive has been the Pitahaya or Dragon Fruit, so named for the appearance of its skin.
The most common varieties are the yellow and red ones.
Today we present to you the Red Pitahaya that you can purchase through the FrutaMare online store for just €5, with taxes and free shipping for peninsular residents.
The Hylocereus Undatus (scientific name) is a fruit from the cactus plant native to Central America. For some time now, Pitahaya has been cultivated in Spain. It is a scaly fruit with an ovoid shape and red skin with green bracts on the outside and white or red pulp with black seeds.
Yellow Pitahaya and Red Pitahaya are the most commercialized types.
Why buy FrutaMare's Red Pitahaya?
Firstly, because it is an excellent choice. The dragon fruit contains minimal carbohydrates and has a low caloric content. It also contains vitamins B1, 2, 3, and C. The latter is present in greater quantity specifically in this variety, the Red Pitahaya.
The main minerals it contains are calcium, iron, and phosphorus. With its high water content, it is recommended for people on weight loss diets. It is also rich in fiber, which improves intestinal transit. The seeds, on the other hand, have a laxative effect.
In addition, Pitahaya promotes iron absorption, reducing the risk of iron deficiency anemia. By the way, did you know that infusions of its leaves relieve headaches?
In addition to these nutritional properties, the sweet taste of Pitahaya adds to its appeal, making it an ideal ingredient for smoothies, ice creams, jams, etc.
Dieticians recommend combining a daily amount of plant-based foods with a variety of them, increasing the health benefits for our well-being.
Pitahaya or dragon fruit can complement the consumption of other fruits or even provide us with nutrients that we would not obtain otherwise.
