What is Yellow Dragon Fruit?

Yellow dragon fruit (Hylocereus megalanthus), also known as yellow pitaya, is a tropical cactus fruit originally from South America, especially Colombia and Ecuador.

Unlike the more common pink-skinned varieties, the yellow dragon fruit has a spiky golden peel and creamy white flesh dotted with edible black seeds. Its taste is the sweetest of all dragon fruit types — often compared to honey, pear, and kiwi combined, with a smooth, juicy texture that melts in the mouth.

This exotic beauty is not only visually stunning but also a favourite among fruit lovers for its exceptional flavour and refreshing qualities.

• Rich in vitamin C – supports immune health.
