Efficacy and function of pitaya peel

The peel contains vitamin E and a more special component-anthocyanin.

Anthocyanin is an effective antioxidant, which can effectively prevent arteriosclerosis, thus preventing stroke caused by heart attack and thrombosis. It can also fight against free radicals and effectively resist aging; It can also improve the prevention of brain cell degeneration and inhibit the occurrence of dementia.

Therefore, when we eat pitaya, we should try not to discard the pink peel inside. Anthocyanins are sensitive to temperature and should be eaten raw. You can scrape it off with a knife and eat it raw, or you can cut it into thin strips for cold salad. Juicing is also a good choice.
