The difference between small dragon fruit and large dragon fruit

1. There is no obvious difference between the small dragon fruit and the large pitaya. The color and shape of their peels are similar, but they are of different sizes. However, after cutting these two types of dragon fruit, you will find the difference between them, because the flesh of the large pitaya is mostly white with some small black granular substances in the middle, while the flesh of the small pitaya is mostly purple-red.

2. The small dragon fruit and the large dragon fruit are not only different in the color of the flesh, but also in their nutritional value and taste. The small dragon fruit tastes sweeter and has a higher nutritional value than the large dragon fruit, because this dragon fruit contains a lot of anthocyanins, which can enhance the body's ability to resist radiation, fight cancer and viruses, and delay aging. However, the content of anthocyanins in the large dragon fruit is very low, and its anti-cancer and anti-aging abilities are worse than those of the small dragon fruit.
