Who needs artificial colours & flavours when nature provides some of the most beautiful, vibrant hues from tropical fruits like the Dragonfruit (also known as Pitaya) . Rich in iron, magnesium, vitamin C, fibre and a host of antioxidants (particularly the red variety) these delicious fruits are abundant in the northern rivers right now.
They are delicious simply freshly cut with a squeeze of lime, but if you want to get fancy, try these easy raw bites.
