Yellow Pitaya

Yellow pitaya, a striking variety of dragon fruit, is known for its vibrant yellow skin and juicy, white flesh peppered with tiny black seeds. This fruit stands out for its sweeter and more aromatic flavour compared to its red-skinned counterpart. The texture is similar to that of kiwi, with a refreshing crunch from the seeds. Yellow pitaya is a nutritious choice, rich in vitamin C, dietary fibre, and antioxidants, making it both a healthful and delicious tropical treat.

To enjoy yellow pitaya, slice the fruit lengthwise or in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The skin is inedible but peels off easily. The fruit's sweet, delicate flavour is perfect for eating raw, either on its own or added to fruit salads, yoghurts, and desserts. It also blends beautifully into smoothies and juices.

Yellow pitaya's sweet taste and appealing texture make it a versatile ingredient in a variety of culinary creations. It can be used to add a tropical flair to salads, salsas, and desserts. In beverages, its natural sweetness enhances the flavour of cocktails, mocktails, and refreshing drinks. Yellow pitaya can also be a unique addition to baked goods, such as muffins and tarts, or used as a vibrant topping for pancakes and waffles.
