Colombian Yellow Pitahaya (Box 9 units)

The yellow pitahaya is about 9 cm in length by about 7 cm in width. It is green when it is born and turns yellow when ripe. Its flesh is white and filled with very small black seeds, which are notable for their laxative effect. It has a high sugar content, so its taste is quite sweet. Because of its shape and colour, it is often reminiscent of pineapples. There are two main types of dragon fruit, yellow and red. The shell of the yellow pitahaya is soft, somewhat softer than the red varieties, so this makes the cultivation of yellow pitahaya smaller. It is covered with bark with thorns removed before marketing, while the red pitahaya has no thorns.
