Dragon Fruit can simply be called a fantastic fruit. Not only due to its flame-like appearance, but also thanks to its nutritional properties. It’s a fruit which is “low in calories yet offers numerous nutrients, including Vitamin C (equivalent to 10% of the daily value), B vitamins, phosphorus, protein, calcium, fiber, captin, and antioxidants.” Its properties have shown that it can “lower blood sugar levels as well as blood pressure, strengthen bones and teeth, promote healthy blood and tissue formation, re-inforce the immune system, heal bruises and wounds faster and prevent respiratory problems”.
