Pitaya Fruit by 'Granot's Farms' A new fruit has joined the fruit and vegetable marketing of "Granot's Farms", the Pitaya. The new agricultural organization, which began marketing agricultural produce directly to the supermarkets a year ago, has added to its agricultural produce basket two varieties of Pitaya: Venus and Apollo, that will be marketed to leading marketing chains, private markets and stores specializing in the opening of the Pitaya season in early September.
The Pitaya, also called the Dragon Fruit, is a thornless cactus that grows up to six meters tall. The rind of the fruit is red, pink-purple or yellow, with leaves reminiscent of an artichoke. The fruit content is juicy, white or purplish in color, and saturated with small black seeds. The fruit contains vitamin C, dietary fiber and many antioxidants. The fruit is sweet, yet slightly sour, has a beet color flush, and contains plenty of juice. Israel grows 3 species of Pitayas in the coastal plain, the Negev and the Arava.
The Pitaya can be obtained between September to January in food chains across the country.
