Dragon fruit (pitaya) grows on cactus plants and originates in Mexico. Today they are cultivated in many countries that can provide hot enough climate. The fruits are oval and covered in a 'scaly' hard coat of flesh, hence the name. The most popular variety of dragon fruits is red with white pulp, but there are also yellow+white and red+red pulp varieties. The pulp of the fruits contains seeds filled with essential omega-3 acids.

Dragon fruits have a mildly-sweet 'neutral' flavor, often compared to a cross between kiwis and pears. It means that you can add it to sports drinks for giving them a small nutritional boost as well as sweetening the flavor.

The dragon fruit taste allows including it in both sweet and sweet-sour sauces and even curries. Note that the pieces of dried fruit 'soak up' flavors very well, so store them away from spices.
