What is Dragon Fruit? Well here is some information for you:
Dragon fruit is jam-packed with flavonoids and flu-fighting vitamin C, which is great for the immune system. In fact, it contains more vitamin C than a carrot, making the dragon fruit one of the top vitamin C foods around. Pitaya fruit, pitahaya fruit, commonly known as the dragon fruit, is a fruit from Central America, South America, and Asia. It is a favorite to many, particularly people of Asian origin. It has a light sweet taste, an intense shape and color, and has a texture of between that of a kiwi and an apple. In addition to being tasty and refreshing, this contains a lot of water and other vital minerals with varied nutritional ingredients.

Hope everyone has enjoyed the school holidays. Back to reality on Monday and maybe some much needed peace and quiet for parents and grandparents. Have a fantastic weekend. We look forward to seeing you all. 😊😊
