Red pitaya:

The appearance is red skin and pulp, and the quality of raw food is better. It is sweeter than white red dragon fruit and tastes slightly sweet and sour. Red pitaya is smaller and rounder. Cut the red pitaya pulp into pieces, pour it into a blender with yogurt and mash it, and you can have a delicious pitaya milkshake.

Yellow pitaya:

Appearance is yellow skin, white meat and black seeds. The quality and taste of pulp are the best, because the technical difficulty and maturity of cultivation are longer and the output is less, so the price is much more expensive than that of red pitaya.
