Red Dragonfruit (Pitaya)
Origin: This mildly sweet fruit, known as pitaya, pitahaya, or dragon fruit, grows on a cactus vine and is native to Mexico.
Flavor Profile: The fruit's texture is similar to a kiwifruit because of its black, crunchy seeds. The flesh, which is eaten raw, is mildly sweet and low in calories. The seeds are eaten together with the flesh, have a nutty taste, and are rich in lipids, but they are indigestible unless chewed.
How To Eat: To prepare a pitaya for consumption, the fruit is cut in half to expose the juicy inside. Pitaya can also be eaten chilled, frozen, juiced, blended, or used to flavor other beverages.
First come first serve, any orders that can't be shipped this season will be reserved for next season.
The total weight of each box varies depending on the size, shape, and mass of the fruit:
- One Fruit contains 1 piece of fruit (sizing varies)
- Small Box contains up to 3-5 pounds
- Large Box contains up to 8-10 pounds
- Extra Large Box contains up to 16-20 pounds
- Bulk Box contains up to 34-40 pounds
We ALWAYS recommend ordering a LARGE BOX for the best value, when compared to a Small Box. Because shipping, handling, and delivery are so expensive per package, the Large Box will contain more fruit and ultimately a better value.
