Did you know?
Frozen dragon fruit has become a staple ingredient in smoothie packs and acai bowls. The vibrant magenta color of red-flesh dragon fruit is one of the most visually striking natural food colors and does not fade significantly when frozen. This intense color comes from betacyanin — a betalain pigment that is more stable at low temperatures. For dogs the frozen cubes of dragon fruit provide the same nutrition as fresh with the added enrichment of a cooling frozen treat.
