Yellow Palora Dragon Fruit

History:

Dragon fruit, also known as pitahaya, is a tropical fruit from the hylocereus cactus genus, which is native to South America. Palora dragon fruit was bred in Ecuador, in the region of the same name, and is one of the tastiest varieties ever. Our fruit is grown on the island of La Palma, which enjoys a rich history of traditional agriculture associated with caring for nature and sustainable agriculture.

Rich in antioxidants: Dragon fruit is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, making it an excellent choice for promoting health and vitality.

Processing:

Palora dragon fruit is characterized by the sharp thorns that cover its surface. It is carefully harvested by hand to preserve its quality and freshness. After harvesting, the fruit is carefully sorted and the best fruits are selected for further processing. Organic dragon fruit is grown without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers, which ensures an ecological and healthy approach to its production.

Storage:

To maintain freshness and taste, it is important to store dragon fruit properly. This crop is very sensitive to low temperatures, which damage its taste and vitamins. Therefore, I recommend storing it at room temperature and cooling it only just before eating. Palora tastes great, for example, in combination with papaya, oranges.
