Pitahaya or Dragon Fruit is also known as Pitajón, Yaurero, and Warakko and is characterised by a pleasant taste. They have a waxy appearance, and the pulp of the fruit is whitish translucent and contains many tiny black seeds. Because of their organoleptic characteristics, as a result of their ripening and hardiness, they have attracted the attention of consumers and growers. Pitahaya was first discovered in the wild by the Spanish conquistadors in Mexico, Colombia, Central America, and the West Indies. They gave it the name "pitaya," which means scaly fruit. The yellow variety is cultivated in tropical and high tropical areas (Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and the whole Central American area) and the red variety in Mexico, Nicaragua, and Vietnam. The main production area of red pitahaya in Vietnam is the east coast, from Nha Trang in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. Exports of red pitahaya from Vietnam are mainly oriented to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. However, it is also exported to European markets.
