Dragon Fruit

Dragon Fruit is a tropical fruit often used fresh in fruit salads, smoothies and as a colorful garnish; it originates from Central America but is now widely grown in Southeast Asia. It is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and striking appearance with speckled flesh and leathery skin. Nutritionally, Dragon Fruit is low in calories and provides a modest boost of minerals such as potassium (220mg per 100g) along with small amounts of folate and copper. While not a significant source of protein or fats, it is a refreshing, hydrating choice that contributes some fiber and micronutrients; it is not particularly concentrated in carotenoids or polyphenol antioxidants compared with berries or brightly colored tropical fruits.
