Why red pitaya — and which grade?

Red pitaya's value to a formulator is its colour: a natural, vivid magenta from betalain pigments with a mild flavour that does not fight the rest of the recipe. The freeze-dried grade is 100% fruit at ≥ 95% below 250 µm, so it disperses cleanly in bowls, yogurts and bakery batters and carries a "100% fruit" claim. The spray-dried grade dissolves instantly and suits beverages, powder sticks and high-volume mixes at lower cost per kilo.

Both grades come from the same certified organic supplier as our açaí, which is why pitaya is a common second SKU for açaí-bowl and smoothie brands: one qualification package, one documentation standard, one shipment.
