Dragon Fruit

The Pitaya is more commonly referred to as the dragon fruit, it is the fruit of several cactus species. The pitaya only blooms at night; they are large white flowers that are often called Moonflower or Queen of the Night.

Dragon fruit comes in two colours. The white fleshed variety has a slightly citrus flavour and the deep red fleshed fruit has a mild sweet taste, both are speckled with tiny black seeds, this fruit is unlike any other fruit, and is the perfect addition to any exotic tropical fruit salad.

It is believed that Dragon fruit has been brought from Vietnam to Thailand in the past 7-8 years ago. Now it is widely grown all over Thailand.
