The Pitaya, more commonly known as the Dragon Fruit, is an unusual fruit grown in Southeast Asia, Mexico, Central and South America, and Israel. The plant is actually a type of cactus, and the fruit comes in three colors: two have pink skin, but with different colored flesh (one white, the other red); while another type is yellow with white flesh.
