Dragon fruit, as the name suggests, resembles a dragon. It grows on climbing cactus known as Hylocereus, which can be found in tropical regions. The outer covering of dragon fruit is in shades of red and pink or yellow. Their leaves resemble a dragon and have spikes that shoot up like a flame around the fruit. Hylocereus originally grew in Southern Mexico, South & Central America, and the French brought it to Southern East Asia during the early 19th century.
The inside of a dragon fruit is white, semi-solid fruit that can be eaten with a spoon and has nutty seeds sprinkled all over it. It is juicy with a slightly sweet taste, whereas the seeds have a nutty flavour. There are many benefits of dragon fruit that we will discuss later in this blog. Let's first discuss its nutritional value.
It is packed with high fibre that also aids in digestive health, and helps reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Just like lentils, dragon fruit is prebiotic that, in turn, promotes probiotics such as gut-friendly bacteria - lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
The vitamins in dragon fruit also help protect your skin from sun damage, since vitamin C and E help minimize the damage caused by harmful UV rays. Additionally, dragon fruit contains polysaccharides which have been shown to help tighten and firm the skin, which gives the skin a healthy, youthful appearance.
Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, provides numerous hair-nourishing benefits due to its high nutritional profile, which includes vitamins and antioxidants, hydration, hair growth, nutrient absorption, and scalp health.
