Health Benefits of PITAYA OR DRAGON FRUIT

Another exotic specimen in our useful selection, which nutritionists discovered just four years ago. Researchers at the University of Malaysia Putra have found that the intricate fruit is 50% composed of essential fatty acids, iron and vitamin E. To prepare the pitaya for consumption, the fruit is usually cut vertically in half. After that, you can either cut it into slices, or scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Interestingly, at home in Asia, the dragon fruit is used primarily for decoration.
