Introduction

The dragon fruit is actually a species of cactus which is indigenous to the Americas. It is classified within the broad category of pitaya or pitahaya which also belong to the family Cactaceae. Dragon fruits are a distinct category of pitaya known as the sweet pitaya and they are different compared to sour pitaya variety both in taste and in texture. Sweet pitaya come in three types known as white-fleshed pitaya, red-fleshed pitaya and yellow pitaya. The red-fleshed pitaya is the rarest variety of all pitaya varieties.

The red-fleshed pitaya (Hylocereus costaricensis) is native in the western coast of South America and in particular in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Peru. However, as its popularity increased, the red-fleshed pitaya is now cultured in many tropical and subtropical regions.

Red-fleshed pitaya is native in South America but nowadays it can be found growing in Florida, South California, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan to name a few.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
