Want to know a secret? Pitaya is just the native name for dragon fruit (or strawberry pear).

Common in Hispanic and Asian specialty stores, this oval-shaped fresh fruit is native to South America. Read more about pitaya here.

Both Pitaya and Açaí are tropical fruits with tasty flavor profiles and plenty of nutrients. However, there are a few key differences between the two (in this case, it isn’t apples to oranges). You can read more about their differences here.

Light yet nutritious, pitaya is a tasty addition to the base of your food pyramid. Toss raw or frozen pitaya onto your plate (or bowl) to reap a few of its possible perks:   

Macronutrients– A 100 gram serving of pitaya has 60 calories, nearly 86% coming from carbs. 

Vitamins & minerals– Pitaya’s superpower? A high dose of magnesium (about 10% per serving of the recommended daily intake). Pitaya flesh also offers a small amount of iron and vitamin B2, as well as antioxidants like flavonoids and hydroxycinnamates.
