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.

Pink pitaya powder for natural magenta color

Pink pitaya powder — red-fleshed dragon fruit — gets its deep pink to magenta color from natural betalain pigments, which is why brands use it to color smoothie bowls, beverages, yogurt, ice cream, bakery and confectionery without synthetic dyes. We supply it freeze-dried (100% fruit, no carrier) and spray-dried (80% fruit, 20% cassava maltodextrin), from a 50 kg minimum order, stocked in the US and Brazil.
