DRAGONFRUIT
Also known as pitaya, dragon fruit (Hylocereus coastaricensis) is a distinctively colorful, exotic cactus fruit with a mild, sweet flavor and a juicy, crunchy texture. They are cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.
Dragon fruits are a treasure-house of healthful nutrients including vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, essential fatty acids, oligosaccharides and various betalains and phenols. The many tiny black seeds contained in the flesh contain omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.*
