Dragon Fruit

The dragon fruit (Buah Naga) that you can find in the local supermarket is in fact a fruit from a cactus. Called the Pitaya in Thailand and the Queen of the night in North America, it is one of the many species in the Cactaceae family grown for its edible fruit. The plant is a perennial climbing regimented cactus with triangular fleshy stems growing to a height of 1-3 meters or more. It is an epiphyte and its aerial roots attach themselves to various types of supports as it grows

The dragon fruit is exotically delicious on its own, eaten as cut fruit. The red variety we are showing here has a special flavour compared to the white variety which can be quite bland.
