Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit popular in Southeast Asia. It belongs to the climbing cacti family. The fruit, apart from being refreshing and tasty, has loads of vitamin C and is said to aid digestion. The dragon fruit has a dramatic appearance, bright pink with green colored spine-like scales. The scales turn yellow as the fruit ripens while the skin peels easily. The fruit is oval shaped, elliptical or pear-shaped. Inside, the flesh has subtly flavored sweet taste or sometimes slightly sour. The flesh is either white or red with black seeds dotted all over. The seeds resemble sesame seeds. It imparts a crunchy texture. It is claimed that the seeds are rich in non-saturated fat that can act as anti-free radical and absorb toxic substance in human body.
