Dragon Fruit
Yellow Dragon Fruit
✓ VerifiedAlso known as: Selenicereus megalanthus
South America
Yellow dragon fruit belongs to an entirely different genus, Selenicereus, than the more common red and white-skinned types, native to South America rather than Central America, and it has historically been harder to cultivate commercially due to slower growth and greater cold sensitivity — tradeoffs growers accept specifically because it is widely considered the sweetest of all commonly available dragon fruit types.
