Pick pitaya

The heavier the pitaya, the more juice and the fuller the pulp, so when you buy pitaya, you should weigh a single pitaya by hand. The heavier the pitaya, the better. The redder the surface, the better, and the greener and fresher the green part. If the green part turns yellow, it means it is not fresh. Don't choose the slender one. The fatter, the more mature. It is sweet and won't be eaten raw.
