1. Introduction to Red Dragon Fruit Powder
Table of Contents
Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis), also known as Pitaya, is one of Vietnam’s most iconic tropical fruits. The red-fleshed variety is particularly prized for its deep magenta color and higher antioxidant content compared to the white variety.
At Vinahugo, our Red Dragon Fruit Powder is produced using Freeze-Drying (FD) or Spray-Drying (SD) technology. These methods preserve the fruit’s natural vibrant pink color, delicate tropical flavor, and essential nutrients like Betacyanin, Vitamin C, and Magnesium. It is 100% natural, making it a perfect “Clean Label” alternative to synthetic food dyes.
