Hylocereus coastaricensis Raw - Living Foods Homestead Staples & Superfood Non-GMO Gluten Free Raw Vegan No Added Sugar or Salt From the dream-scape desert Cactus-Tree Magenta Dragonfruit is freeze dried to a potent antioxidant rich powder. Blooming from Dr. Seuss-ical cactus-tree, Pitahaya or, Dragonfruit is a bright fuchsia conical wonder to the eyes and taste buds! Indigenous to Costa Rica (its white-fleshed cousin native to Mexico), it is an important, sustainable desert crop for both food and medicine. With unforgettable vivid magenta hues, Dragonfruit is loaded with antioxidants, fiber, Vitamin C and B, and will have you groovin' under the sun --- even on a gloomy day! Also called "Strawberry Pear", its flavor is somewhat of an earthly Willy Wonka creation with refreshing, subtle tropical notes of kiwi, strawberry, watermelon and pear. This "Belle of the Night" blossoms under moonlight and relies on nocturnal pollinators to continue the flow, under the glow, fruiting 5-6x annually.
