Pitaya is a perennial climbing succulent plant. Plants have no main roots, and lateral roots are widely distributed in shallow soil. At the same time, there are many aerial roots to climb and grow. Because of its long-term growth in tropical desert areas, its leaves have degenerated, and its photosynthetic function is borne by its stems. Inside the stem is a large number of parenchyma cells filled with viscous liquid, which is beneficial to absorb as much water as possible in rainy season.
The fruit is oblong or ovoid, the peel is red, fleshy, with oval sharp scales at the top, long10-12cm, thick and waxy. The pulp is white or red. There are nearly ten thousand sesame seeds with fragrance, so it is called sesame fruit.
