Don’t Miss Delectable Dragon Fruit

With intriguing skin and stunning vibrant flesh that’s quick to gain loyal fans, organic magenta Dragon Fruit is all the rage with eaters that enjoy a diverse fruit bowl. We’re proud to partner with our friends at Covilli in Mexico and Rainbow Valley Orchards in California to offer this gorgeous fruit!

Also known as Pitahaya, Pitaya or Strawberry Pear, this tropical is native to Central and South America and is the fruit of the Hylocereus cactus. Seussian in appearance, the growing cycle of the Dragon Fruit plant and the fruit it produces is a feast for the eyes. 

Nutrient-dense, boasting high levels of magnesium and fiber, Dragon Fruit tastes like a refreshing and juicy combination of kiwi and pear. Its flesh, studded with tiny edible black seeds that lend a satisfying texture, is delicious eaten straight from the fruit with a spoon, blended into smoothies and desserts or sliced into a fruit salad or on a cheese board. 

You can satisfy sweet tooths and quench eaters’ thirst with Dragon Fruit during these hot summer months!
