Vibrant dragon fruit powder - fountain of youth

Maybe you have already noticed bright pink smoothie bowls, ice creams and “super powders” circulating on social media. Let’s dive into a real superfood paradise and take a closer look!

The dragon fruit, or pitaya tree, belongs to the cactus family, and in appearance, it really resembles a small dragon. Dragon fruit is grown in central and South America, Southeast Asian countries such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. In addition, this attractive cactus can be found growing in Israel, Northern Australia and Southern China. The fruit flesh is sweet and slightly creamy. Red-fleshed dragon fruit or pitaya is also considered a true superfruit, especially for its high antioxidant content, and this is one of the main reasons why dragon fruit powder has become so popular. In addition to antioxidants, it is a valuable fruit because of its vitamin content. Red dragon fruit is rich in vitamin C, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which support the immune system, as well as vitamins B1, B2 and B3, which help convert nutrients into energy. The red dragon fruit is also packed with beneficial fiber and also has an anti-inflammatory effect, being a great helper in arthritis.

Why choose dragon powder?

The advantage of the freeze-dried powder is its high nutritional value. As the freeze-dried powder is much more concentrated, even a small amount of powder allows the body to be provided with the necessary nutrients. In order to make 1 kg of dragon fruit powder, it takes as much as 15 kg of fresh fruit, which means that one tablespoon of freeze-dried powder already has a lot of nutritional value. However, the powder is very easy to use and convenient to consume and also has a long shelf life, so there is no fear of spoilage. Depending on the packaging, storage temperature, the shelf life of the powder can be up to 25 years. You can read more about freeze-drying HERE.
