As a fruit that is native to Central and South America as well as Mexico, dragon fruit is in season from about June to September, says Iowa State University's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center. Also known as a strawberry pear or pitaya, dragon fruit has a texture that is similar to a mango or watermelon while its flavor is often described as a cross between kiwis and pears (via Produce Market Guide). Given these characteristics, you can see why dragon fruit is an ideal inclusion in smoothies as well as a garnish for cocktails, Taste of Home says.
But plenty of people eat dragon fruit "straight up" — slicing it open and then carefully munching around the rind or scooping out the flesh with a spoon, per the Food Network. While dragon fruit can satisfy a sweet tooth, you don't have to feel guilty consuming it. Each 3.5-ounce piece of fruit contains about 60 calories, no fat, and 13 grams of carbohydrates. Plus, dragon fruit is a good source of vitamins A and C and magnesium — a mineral that supplies the body with many powerhouse functions, Women's Health says.
As hard as it may be to tear yourself away from a juicy slice of dragon fruit, you can return to it knowing that while it's good for your overall health, it can be particularly beneficial for the health of your skin.
