Pitaya grows in the tropics. There are few pitaya in northern China. Even if planted, it is difficult to survive, because the temperature in the north is too low. However, the growth of pitaya has no requirement for soil, and it can grow in acid and alkali fields. Pitaya is different from banana. It grows on trees, its roots are in the ground, and then it grows on stems.

But then the pitaya will grow on the ground, which is impossible, because it is rainy in the tropics and the soil is wet! If pitaya grows underground, it will rot, so fruit farmers tie the stems to it with cement poles so that pitaya will grow on it. It will not rot, save a lot of land area and plant more pitaya.

Pitaya has the effect of losing weight, because it has low calories and contains a lot of fiber like celery, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. But eat in moderation, because the sugar content is high. No matter what promotes weight loss, you should eat it in moderation. Eating too much will not make you thin, but will make you fat. This is the most effective way to lose weight.
