Where does Dragon fruit come from?
Dragonfruit, also known as pitaya, originated in Central America. The fruit grows on the Hylocereus cactus, which is native to countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
Although dragonfruit's origin lies in Central America, the fruit is now widespread and commercially cultivated in many other parts of the world, including Southeast Asia (especially in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines), Israel, and Australia. The tropical and subtropical climates of these regions are ideal for growing dragonfruit.
In recent years, dragonfruit's popularity has soared worldwide, thanks to its unique taste, striking color, and numerous health benefits. As a result, the fruit can now be found in many supermarkets and specialty stores around the globe.
At The Vegan Store, we love an exotic summer with the founder's Latin American roots, which is why we chose to make a juice out of it.
How did Dragon fruit get its name?
Dragonfruit gets its name from its unique and striking appearance, which resembles the scales of a mythical dragon. The exterior of dragonfruit has scale-like protrusions that look like a dragon's scales. This exotic and mysterious appearance has contributed to its association with dragons. Dragonfruit has a vibrant, brightly colored skin, usually pink or yellow, with contrasting green scales. These striking colors evoke images of dragons from myths and legends.
