People who like to eat dragon fruit know that the flesh of dragon fruit has two different colors, one is white and the other is red. So what are the differences between these two kinds of dragon fruit? What is their most obvious difference? 1. Plant varieties and origins There are obvious differences between white dragon fruit and red dragon fruit in terms of plant species and origin. White dragon fruit is a native domestic plant species and is an authentic domestic product. However, red dragon fruit is an overseas plant species, which is a unique plant introduced to China from South America. 2. Nutritional value There is an obvious difference in nutritional value between white-fleshed pitaya and red-fleshed pitaya. The content of anthocyanins and carotene in white-fleshed pitaya is much lower than that in red-fleshed pitaya. These two substances are natural antioxidants and can promote the regeneration of human immune cells. In other words, the nutritional value of red-fleshed pitaya is much higher than that of white-fleshed pitaya. 3. Health benefits There are also obvious differences in the health benefits of white-fleshed pitaya and red-fleshed pitaya. The anthocyanins in white-fleshed pitaya are mainly found in the peel of this fruit, and the content is relatively small. The anti-aging and beauty effects are not obvious after people eat it. The red-fleshed pitaya contains a large amount of anthocyanins in both the flesh and the peel, and its anti-aging and beauty effects are particularly outstanding. However, white-fleshed pitaya contains a large amount of water-soluble fiber and gelatinous substances, and it has an excellent detoxification effect. Although red pitaya can detoxify, the effect is not as good as white-fleshed pitaya. 4. Dietary therapeutic effects There are some differences in the therapeutic effects of white dragon fruit and red dragon fruit. The most important therapeutic effect of white dragon fruit is to clear away heat and detoxify, remove heavy metals accumulated in the human body, and reduce the damage of irritants to the human gastric mucosa. The most important edible effect of red dragon fruit is anti-aging, prevention of gene mutation, and inhibition of cell canceration. Its anti-cancer effect cannot be surpassed by white dragon fruit. |
