WHITE DRAGON – 10lbs

White dragon fruit (Selenicereus undatus), or white-fleshed pitaya, is a tropical, pink-skinned fruit with white flesh. The plant is native to southern Mexico and Central America. Today, it is grown all over the world.

Dragon fruit may look exotic, but its flavors are similar to other fruits. Its taste has been described as a slightly sweet cross between a kiwi and a pear. The fruit is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other foods in healthy recipes, especially in fruit smoothies, yogurt, or salads.

Dragon fruit contains small amounts of several nutrients. It’s also a decent source of iron, magnesium, and fiber. Given the high amount of fiber and magnesium, as well as the extremely low-calorie content, dragon fruit can be considered a highly nutrient-dense fruit. Dragon fruit offers 7 grams of fiber per serving, making it an excellent choice for meeting your daily fiber needs.

Though people primarily enjoy it for its unique look and taste, evidence suggests it may provide health benefits as well. Particularly, dragon fruit contains several antioxidants that protect your cells from damage. These include betalains, hydroxycinnamates, and flavonoids.

Moreover, animal studies suggest that dragon fruit may improve insulin resistance, liver fat, and heart health. Dragon fruit may promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which is associated with a healthy gastrointestinal tract. The exotic fruit’s high supply of vitamin C and carotenoids may offer immune-boosting properties.
