Tag: White dragonfruit

The vibrant hue of red dragonfruit comes from an antioxidant called betalain, the same pigment found in beets. While white dragonfruit lacks this pigment, the real differences between these two varieties go far beyond their color, affecting everything from flavor profile to specific health benefits.

According to Seeds Del Mundo, red-fleshed dragonfruit contains higher antioxidant amounts than its white-fleshed counterpart, giving it a potential edge in nutritional value. However, the choice of which variety is better ultimately depends on individual preferences for flavor, texture, and specific health goals.
