The origin of the pitahaya (also called dragon fruit) is not really traceable. The plant is a member of the cactus family. The fruits are oval shaped and contain pulp with a scattering of black seeds. When ripe, the fruit peels as easily as a banana and tastes like a mixture of melon and kiwi. The fruit can weigh from 150-600 grams; some may reach one kilogram.
