On this page we are talking about the outside (the skin) color of the dragon fruit, which in this case has a yellow color.
Hylocereus Megalanthus (yellow dragon fruit)
The Yellow Dragon fruit, also known as the yellow pitaya, is a rare special sort, part of the dragon fruit family. The yellow dragon fruit isn’t the most popular dragon fruit but is definitely one of the most delicious tasting fruits we have ever eaten! It is significantly sweeter than ‘regular’ dragon fruits and is one of our favorite fruits without a doubt!
The Yellow Dragon Fruit, or Hylocereus Megalanthus, is originally from Colombia and Ecuador but can grow in the northern south American climate! The fruit is about 10 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide, much smaller than red variants! Their size however can vary depending on the growing conditions and climate.
We are extremely proud to be able to offer yellow dragon fruit cuttings and seeds to you! For now we only have seeds for sale, but the dragon fruit cuttings will soon be for sale! We are working extremely hard to add every dragon fruit variant to our product range.
Remarkable, delicious taste
The inside of the yellow pitaya contains white flesh with black seeds. The white flesh tastes a lot sweeter than a regular pink dragon fruit and is extremely delicious! The yellow dragon fruit seeds taste a little bit bitter but that doesn’t ruin the taste at all.
