oh... the price nowadays in my local market is between € 0.67 - € 1.00 (depends on the peak season). Now, I'm hunting for the elusive locally produced Dragon Fruit Wine..yep. Another thing I discovered is that the shape of White Pitaya and Red Pitaya is slightly different. The highly valued Red Pitaya is rounder than the elongated White Pitaya. There, that's the secret :-)

I love Red Pithaya than the White Pithaya. It's been grown in tropical countries. In my hometown, it's a very popular fruit and it's not only eaten fresh but made into drinks, fruit enzymes, ice creams, vinegars, cakes, jellies, etc. Even the skin is used as vegetable! The cactus plant is huge with gorgeous flowers :-) It's strange to have this thorny plant with amazing fruits...that's wonders of Nature.

the pitaya flower is just as beautiful, especially because it blooms only in the early morning. I am soon starting a small production of pink pitaya gelati/sorbet...for sure i will be posting results soon
