Fresh Red Pitaya Dragon Fruit Box
In Season March-November
Box Size: Approx. 4 lbs

The inside of fresh Red Dragon Fruit is dark pink with a juicy texture and sweet tropical flavor. The dense pink flesh is speckled with tiny, black, edible seeds - think kiwi. The inside of a ripe dragon fruit should appear juicy yet firm in texture, like a cross between a melon and a pear.

Dragon fruit is surprisingly simple to prepare and can be eaten by itself (just cut in half and grab a spoon!) or added to smoothies and salads.

Weather Holds
Orders placed in colder climate zones during the winter months will automatically be placed on hold until Spring or when temperatures in your area are above freezing on the expected date of delivery.  

Heat Packs
Heat packs can be purchased separately to avoid cold weather delays.
If you live in a colder climate and do not want to wait until Spring to get your new plants, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order. Your plants will ship as scheduled and arrive safely, with no risk of freezing on the way to your front door.

Health Benefits

Dragon fruit is low in calories but rich in vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids (immune boosting!) and betacyanins.

It contains the antioxidants vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene and betalain. Studies have linked diets high in antioxidants to a reduced risk of chronic disease. It also offers 7 grams of fiber per serving, making it an excellent choice for meeting your daily fiber needs.

Dragon Fruit is also an awesome source of magnesium, a nutrient needed for over 600 biochemical reactions in your body. The fruit supplies iron along with vitamin C, a combination that may improve your body’s absorption of this important mineral. | Source: HealthLine.com

Grow Your Own!

This vining cactus plant comes from the family of 'moonlight cacti' indigenous to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Many of the cacti in this family have flowers that only bloom at nighttime, activated by the moon's light.

Red Dragon Fruit, commonly referred to as Pitaya or Pitahaya, features an impressive white night-blooming flower and large exotic looking bright pink fruit.  It's beloved by pollinators and easy to grow if you have the space for it to climb!
