Pitaya, also known as immortal fruit and auspicious fruit, has high economic value and integrates fruit, flowers, vegetables and medicine. It is not only edible for fruits, but also has high nutritional value and delicious taste, and has become a new and excellent green health food.
Pitaya has unique requirements for environmental conditions. It can be planted in shallow hills and mountains with no pollution and convenient irrigation and drainage.
Pitaya is divided into three categories: red skin and white meat, red skin and red meat and yellow skin and white meat. Due to the variety and geographical differences, there are many names. In Taiwan Province Province, red meat pitaya includes Lotus Red Dragon, John Lone, Rose Red Dragon, Xianglong, Xianglong, Zhu Long and Tianlong. White meat varieties are often called white honey, fairy honey fruit and white meat dragon fruit. In other Asian regions, it is usually called red pitaya and green pitaya.

Pitaya has an excellent effect on human health, because it contains plant albumin and anthocyanin, rich vitamins and water-soluble dietary fiber, which are rare in general plants. Albumin is a viscous colloidal substance, which has detoxification effect on heavy metal poisoning. Due to the neglect of environmental protection, various water resources are polluted by heavy metals, and the content of heavy metals in drinking water and food exceeds the standard. However, when albumin meets heavy metal ions in the human body, it will combine with them and then be excreted, which plays a role in detoxification. So eating pitaya rich in albumin can avoid the absorption and poisoning of heavy metal ions. Albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall. Moreover, the albumin in the flowers, fruits and stems of pitaya is excellent and stable, and the polymerization of these albumin constitutes the main component of cactus mucus.
Pitaya also contains a more special ingredient-anthocyanin. Grape skins, red beets and other fruits and vegetables all contain anthocyanins, but the content of anthocyanins in pitaya is the highest, especially in red meat fruits. It has antioxidant, anti-free radical and anti-aging effects, and can also improve the prevention of brain cell degeneration and inhibit the occurrence of dementia. At the same time, pitaya also contains vitamin C for whitening skin and rich water-soluble dietary fiber, which has the functions of losing weight, lowering blood sugar, moistening intestines and preventing colorectal cancer.
