Pitaya SD Powder: Nutrient-Rich Superfood for Blood Sugar & Throat Health
Our Pitaya SD Powder (Spray Dried) is a premium functional ingredient crafted from fresh, ripe Hylocereus undulatus Britt (dragon fruit, also known as red dragon fruit, dragon pearl fruit). Sourced from the original producing areas of Central America (Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, etc.), it retains the unique nutrients and natural flavor of dragon fruit via advanced spray drying technology. With rare phytoalbumin and concentrated anthocyanins, this powder is easy to absorb, convenient to use, and ideal for health foods, dietary supplements, and functional beverages.
1. Raw Material: Dragon Fruit – The “Fairy Fruit” of Cactaceae
Plant Trait & Origin Advantage
Dragon fruit, a member of the Cactaceae family and Metacarpus genus, has an oval shape with a diameter of 10-12 cm. Its appearance is red or yellow, adorned with green rounded triangular leaf-like protrusions, and the flesh comes in white, red, or yellow with tiny black seeds. As a cool-natured fruit, it ripens naturally in summer and autumn, boasting a sweet and juicy taste. We select plump, sun-ripened dragon fruits to ensure the powder inherits the fruit’s full nutritional and functional value.
Unique Nutritional Foundation
What sets dragon fruit apart from ordinary fruits is its rare and balanced nutrient composition. It contains phytoalbumin (seldom found in common plants), anthocyanins, a variety of vitamins, and soluble dietary fiber—forming a comprehensive nutritional system that supports human health.
2. Product Advantages: Why Choose Pitaya SD Powder?
Our Pitaya SD Powder perfectly solves the storage and application limitations of fresh dragon fruit, while enhancing its practical value:
-
Nutrition Retention: Spray drying technology preserves heat-sensitive components like phytoalbumin and anthocyanins without changing the original nutritional composition of dragon fruit.
-
High Bioavailability: The powder disperses quickly and evenly in water, allowing active ingredients to be easily absorbed by the body—ensuring rapid onset of effects.
-
Convenient & Versatile: Easy to take, store, and carry; has an excellent flavor and is suitable for both solid and liquid preparations (e.g., capsules, drinks, pastries), expanding the application pathways of dragon fruit resources.
3. Core Functions: Multi-Dimensional Health Benefits
The remarkable efficacy of Pitaya SD Powder stems from its unique nutrient composition, covering throat care, blood sugar regulation, and overall health support:
1. Relieve Throat Discomfort & Quench Thirst
As a cool-natured fruit derivative, the powder has a natural soothing effect on the throat:
-
Alleviate Irritable Thirst: Its sweet and juicy flavor and high water-soluble nutrients quickly quench thirst, especially suitable for relieving dry mouth and thirst caused by hot weather, staying up late, or talking too much.
-
Soothe Sore Throat: The cool nature and active components reduce throat inflammation, gently relieving sore throat, hoarseness, and other discomforts.
2. Auxiliary Support for Diabetic Patients
Dragon fruit’s natural nutrients make the powder a valuable auxiliary food for diabetics:
It is low in sugar and rich in soluble dietary fiber, which slows down the absorption of glucose in the intestines, helping stabilize blood sugar levels. Long-term consumption provides gentle auxiliary support for blood sugar management (note: it is a nutritional supplement, not a substitute for medication).

Rich in physiologically active substances, the powder offers long-term health benefits:
-
Detoxification & Liver Protection: Phytoalbumin binds to heavy metals in the body, promoting their excretion and protecting liver function.
