Hands down Pitaya/Acai/Fruit bowls are probably one of my all time favorite things to eat. I seriously could eat them all day everyday. They are super delicious and nutritious! It is also a guilt free sweet treat for when you are having those sweet tooth cravings.
The Pitaya Cactus, otherwise known as the Dragonfruit is considered a Superfruit, originally native to Mexico, transported to Central America and Europe and cultivated in SE Asia, The US (including right here in the Sonoran Desert) Israel, Australia, Cyprus and the Canary Islands. It has the texture of a kiwi with tiny, crunchy black seeds inside, flavor is mildly sweet and nutty.
It is considered a Superfruit for its high antioxidant content, fights free radicals, protecting cells, protects against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Great source of Iron which carries oxygen to the entire body and vital for brain and muscle function.
