Description
Organic Red Pitaya Juice Powder has a refreshing delicate, tropical taste that people often say has a taste of pear and kiwi. The fruit, that actually grows on a cactus tree, is also known by the names red pitaya fruit, strawberry pear and pitahaya. Pitaya is a veritable superfruit in antioxidants, such as betalains, hydroxycinnamates, along with flavonoids and fibers. The deep red pigments of dragon fruit betalains have been shown to impede the bad LDL cholesterol from becoming oxidized or damaged, while hydroxycinnamates have demonstrated an anticancer activity. Lastly, the flavonoid antioxidants have been linked to better brain health and a reduced risk of heart disease.
The pitaya is a low calorie fruit with a large fiber content and provides a hefty amount of multiple vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that protect your cells from damage. The oils of the red dragon fruit seeds contains several healthy fatty acids, mainly linoleic-, oleic- and palmitic acid, along with smaller amounts of stearic-, cis-vaccenic-, linolenic-, palmitoleic- and myristic acid.
By utilizing freeze drying methods, the organic red pitaya juice powder nutrients in the ruby red pulp are conserved. Freeze-dried means that when the product is manufactured, the fruit is rapidly frozen to -40 C / -40 F, after which the formed ice crystals are removed in a vacuum. The method retains 98% of the nutritional value, taste, colour, and smell as the fresh product. Freeze-dried products also have an very long shelf life at up to 25 years when the right packaging is used. The amounts required to make 100 gram of freeze-dried dragon fruit powder is about 1.5 kg of fresh fruits, which means it is highly concentrated.
