Hylocereus undatus, also known as dragon fruit or pitaja, is a fruit of a cactus species with a pink peel and white flesh.
The Hylocereus polyrhizus is also a fruit of a cactus species but this one has a pink peel and a beautiful medium dark shade of magenta-pink. It is also called dragonfruit or pitaja.
I love this one more beacuse it has more flavor.
