Dragon fruit can remove heavy metals

It is rich in plant albumin which is rare in general fruits and vegetables. Many people know that heavy metals (mainly lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and chromium) are harmful to health. When the active albumin contained in pitaya encounters heavy metal ions in the human body, it will quickly wrap them up to avoid intestinal absorption and excrete them out of the body through the excretion system, thus playing a detoxifying role. Moreover, this albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall.
