I finally tried Dragon Fruit for the first time a couple weeks ago and now I have had 4 more! These cool looking fruits are delicious and full of health benefits!
Dragon Fruit is a tropical fruit that comes from a cactus. It’s available everywhere around the world, but it’s indigenous to Mexico and South America.
“If you like kiwi fruit and pears, then you’ll probably like dragon fruit. It’s sweet and crunchy.”
One of the best things about Dragon Fruit is fiber! These babies have 7 grams of fiber per cup! That is amazing when you consider that 97% of the US population is fiber deficient. Soluble Fiber can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels!
A healthy high fiber diet may help to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes! That sure sounds like a great reason to include some dragon fruit to me!
