Description

The listing, White flesh dragon fruit(25 seeds) has ended.

Dragon fruit grows on the Hylocereus cactus, also known as the Honolulu queen, whose flowers only open at night.

The plant is native to southern Mexico and Central America. Today, it is grown all over the world.

It goes by many names, including pitaya, pitahaya, and strawberry pear.

The two most common types have bright red skin with green scales that resemble a dragon — hence the name.

Dragon fruit contains small amounts of several nutrients. It’s also a decent source of iron, magnesium, and fiber.

Here are the nutrition facts for a serving of 3.5 ounces, or 100 grams (1):

Provides Several Antioxidants

Dragon fruit contains several types of antioxidants.

These are compounds that protect your cells from unstable molecules called free radicals, which are linked to chronic diseases and aging (2).

These are some of the main antioxidants contained in dragon fruit pulp (3):

Betalains: Found in the pulp of red dragon fruit, these deep red pigments have been shown to protect “bad” LDL cholesterol from becoming oxidized or damaged (4).
Hydroxycinnamates: This group of compounds has demonstrated anticancer activity in test-tube and animal studies (5).
Flavonoids: This large, diverse group of antioxidants is linked to better brain health and a reduced risk of heart disease (6, 7, 8).
