🌺 Pitayas, the other name for dragon fruit, originate from Central America. Visually, the pitaya is a real little tropical jewel, and it often takes pride of place on buffets because it looks like a flower, with its pink skin dotted with fine green scales, revealing red flesh scattered with tiny black seeds. Its unique, vibrant appearance adds a touch of colour and elegance to any plate. In terms of taste, this delicate fruit offers a mild flavour, fairly understated compared with other tropical fruits and slightly sweet, reminiscent of a subtle blend of kiwi and pear.

The fruit trees we offer you grow on the land of Andalusia, under the sun, with exceptional know-how for sustainable, responsible farming. We want you to taste this organic quality, direct from the grower!
Harvested at physiological ripeness by our partner Iulian, located on the Spanish Costa Tropical.
To withstand transport, the fruits are delivered still firm and will be ready to eat a few days after receipt. Once ripe, you can keep them for up to 15 days in the fridge. To go further, here are our storage tips to enjoy your fruit and vegetables for longer.
How to enjoy it? Nothing could be simpler: cut the fruit in half lengthways, then eat the flesh with a spoon, a bit like a kiwi. You can also cut it into cubes to add to a fruit salad or a smoothie bowl. Only the skin is not eaten.
🌺 Its composition:
Red-fleshed pitayas contain betalains, natural pigments found mainly in red and purple fruits and vegetables. No health claim is authorised for these pigments: they are simply part of the fruit's natural profile and give it its colour. The average nutritional values per 100 g are shown in the "Practical info" tab.
Good to know : in some people, eating red-fleshed dragon fruit can temporarily colour urine or stools pinkish-red. This phenomenon is harmless, linked to the betalains naturally present in the fruit, and disappears on its own within a few hours.
Direct supply chain from Andalusia
We cannot be more direct than this, from this grower in Granada, Spain! Iulian Perseca took over the family business in 2018. 2 generations have followed one another in organically farming the various fields ofavocados, mangoes, and cherimoyas and other seasonal, local fruits, all of excellent quality and enhanced by the sun of southern Spain. This same family farm also grows passion fruit and papayas, if you would like to continue discovering the organic tropical fruits of Andalusia.
Incidentally, on the overall quality of our range of fresh Spanish fruit, a customer says: "The quality of the organic fresh fruit from Andalusia is excellent, better than in specialist organic shops." - Cassandre (Trustpilot review of the Spanish fresh fruit range, not specific to pitaya).
Pitayas come in 3-kilo crates. Shipping is directly from Malaga, from the grower, by GLS.
If you order other products from our shop, you will also have to pay the standard shipping costs for your other products: one parcel will leave from Marseille and another from Malaga. Arrives in 2 separate parcels.
We take particular care in packing your fruit to minimise the risks associated with transport.
No pick-up points. No delivery to Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions
How do you eat dragon fruit (pitaya)?
The simplest way is to cut the fruit in half and eat the flesh with a spoon, like a kiwi. You can also cut it into cubes for a fruit salad or a smoothie bowl. The skin is not eaten.
Why is dragon fruit so expensive?
The price is explained by a low crop yield, hand-harvesting at ripeness and the fast transport needed because the fruit is fragile. At Biovie, shipping is direct from the grower in Spain, which cuts out intermediaries while guaranteeing freshness.
When is the dragon fruit season in Spain?
Pitaya grown in Andalusia is a seasonal fruit, available during a limited window of the year. Availability is shown directly on the product page according to the current harvest at our grower Iulian.
Does dragon fruit have any side effects?
Red-fleshed dragon fruit can temporarily colour urine or stools pink, a harmless effect linked to the natural pigments (betalains) it contains, which disappears without treatment. Apart from this phenomenon, it is well tolerated by most people.
What does dragon fruit contain?
Per 100 g, raw pitaya provides on average 57 kcal, 15 g of carbohydrate and 3.1 g of fibre (see the nutritional values table above). Its red flesh owes its colour to natural pigments, the betalains.
