Pink Pitaya
Exotic, exuberant and beautiful by nature! The pink pitaya, or dragon fruit, is a tropical fruit that has become increasingly popular in recent years, with its striking colours and flavour and high nutritional value. They may look exotic, but its flavors are similar to other fruits, often being described as a slightly sweet cross between a kiwi and a pear. It is considered a highly nutrient-dense fruit, given the high amount of fibres, magnesium and extremely low-calorie content, that along with its antioxidant, antibacterial and nutritional properties, makes it a good addition to any weight loss diet.
Description
Positive health effects of pitaya consumption have been attributed especially to the presence of substances with antioxidant properties, including vitamins, phenolic compounds and natural pigments. It also contains prebiotic fibres that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the bowels, potentially improving metabolic health. Diets rich in antioxidants can help to prevent chronic diseases, found to be best at protecting certain fatty acids from free radical damage. The Pitaya is a low-calorie fruit that contains less sugar and fewer carbohydrates than many other tropical fruits. Overall, dragon fruit is unique, incredibly tasty, and can add variety to your diet.
