Red Dragon Fruit Aseptic Puree
Native to Central and South America, dragon fruit varieties are cultivated in various colors including yellow, white, and red. Also known as pitaya roja, pitahaya, or strawberry pear, the red dragon tends to be sweeter than its other counterparts. Today, it is cultivated and revered across the world’s tropical and subtropical regions including Asia, the Caribbean, and Australia.
The flavor of red dragon fruit pulp can be compared to a blend of kiwi, pear, and watermelon. The taste is light, yet distinct. This makes it a versatile ingredient that can stand alone or be blended with other fruits and herbs. Some great flavor pairings for Red Dragon Fruit include berries, mango, acai, pear, and pineapple. The deep and exotic color adds visual interest to any product.
