Color Your Creations with Wilderness Poets Dragon Fruit Powder
Dragon fruit, also called pitahaya (or pitaya), blooms from the Dr. Seuss-sical cactus trees found in warmer climates like Central and South America. Loaded with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins C and B, the bright fuchsia fruit is a conical wonder to both the eyes and taste buds.
Its flavor is somewhat of an earthly Willy Wonka creation with refreshing, subtle tropical notes of kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, and pear.
