Dragonfruit comes from the cactus plant, often called “pitahaya” or “dragon fruit.” It takes about 18 months for the plant to produce its first fruits. Harvesting is quite unique: the fruit is carefully cut from the branch to separate it.

Thanks to the use of lighting, farmers in Vietnam are able to grow dragonfruit all year round.
