One of our most beautiful farm grown exotic fruits is back in season!

If you’re looking for something truly special, pink dragon fruit is a must-try. This rare and exotic fruit, also known as pitaya, is one of the most stunning tropical fruits you’ll ever see—and it tastes just as incredible as it looks. While dragon fruit is grown in various regions, the pink variety remains a rarity, and we’re proud to say that our farm is one of the few places where you can experience it fresh from the source.

What is Pink Dragonfruit?

Pink dragon fruit is a member of the cactus family and is easily recognizable by its vibrant pink skin and strikingly beautiful flesh, which can range from deep magenta to bright fuchsia. Its refreshing taste, crunchy, seed-speckled texture and sweet flavour make it a favorite among fruit lovers. Think of a cross between a kiwi and a pear with a berry-like sweetness.

Thanks to the high rainfall we experienced throughout the year, our pink dragon fruit vines have thrived, yielding an exceptional harvest. This means we have more of this rare fruit to share with our customers than ever before!

Why We Love Pink Dragonfruit

Our farm team can’t get enough of pink dragon fruit—it’s not just a feast for the eyes but also an incredibly versatile and nutrient-packed fruit. Its crisp texture and lightly sweet taste make it an excellent addition to both sweet and savory dishes.
