What is dragon fruit? In fact, it is the fruit of the tropical plant pitahayu, which belongs to the cactus family. This fruit has a dark pink skin that has green branches. Outwardly, he looks like a bump. Despite the rather dense skin, it separates well from the pulp hidden inside. It is for this juicy core with small seeds and the most delicate aroma that pitahaya is appreciated. Interestingly, the fruit pulp is not only white, but pink and yellow. Some people think that this fruit is sweeter, but in fact, the difference is almost imperceptible. They all taste fresh, tender, a bit like strawberries and kiwi.
Benefits of pitahaya
Among tourists, dragon fruit is valued for its exotic appearance, few people know that the pulp of the fruit contains a lot of calcium, and the seeds contain tannin (antioxidant), which has a protective effect on the body from the negative effects of the environment. Since this fruit is low in calories, it is an excellent dessert for dieters and diabetics. Thanks to the dried pitahaya pulp, which is used in making tea, it also has a beneficial effect on the body and promotes weight loss.
Dried pitahaya tea: what is it like?

The packaging is so bright and colorful that it is simply impossible not to pay attention to it. And what about the taste of the drink? The tea is quite rich with hints of berries, and the infused drink has notes of sweetness in the aroma. This kind of tea is extremely rare - not all manufacturers make it. Most often, this exotic fruit is added to large-leaf green tea. As a result, we have a tart infusion that is softened by an unobtrusive berry flavor. The sweet notes come from the herbaceous aroma of the drink. This tea can be enjoyed with pleasure throughout the year:
- in the hot season - the astringency of the tea has a tonic and refreshing effect;
