Pitaya, also known as dragon fruit, is a high-value tropical superfruit recognized for its delicate pulp, mildly sweet flavor, and elevated nutritional density. Rich in natural antioxidants, vitamin C, soluble fiber, and betalains, pitaya contributes to intestinal health, immune system support, and the body’s anti-inflammatory response. Its exotic appearance and functional properties reinforce its position in the market as a premium fruit, widely used in healthy food products and natural cosmetics.
In Serra do Tombador, pitayas are supplied in 4 to 6 kg packages, depending on retailer requirements.
