Pitahayaaaa

Dragon fruit is often the ingredient in many tropical cocktails; in addition, it is used to make wine. In addition to a pleasant taste, pitaya has another advantage - a high content of vitamin B3, phosphorus, calcium and oleic acid, which improves brain function. And from the fragrant flowers of the cactus pitaya Americans make tea.

The first mention is found in the Aztecs in the XIII century. The sweet and sour fruits of pitaya were appreciated by the Indians, but not so much for the taste as for the large amount of fruit and its ease of collection. It is believed that the dragon's fruit was brought to Thailand from Vietnam about 10 years ago. Closer to the rainy season (around September), pitaya floods Thai markets.
