Pitaya Plus launched in January 2011, and have hit the shelves in over 100 Whole Foods country wide. They are also carried in other local, natural food stores including here in San Diego, where their headquarters is located.
What is Pitaya? More commonly known as the Dragon Fruit, it is a low-calorie, low sugar, superfruit that is packed with antioxidants and fiber. It is currently the lowest sugar juice on the shelves at Whole Foods Market. Their juice is blended with a touch of lemon and coconut water as well, making it not only super nutritious, but extremely hydrating as well. It is also perfect for kids because it has all the nutrition, and barely any sugar.
There is a lot more information on the juice, company, and all that they stand for which can be found at www.pitayaplus.com.
We found Pitaya Plus to be refreshing, not sweet like other juices and the hint of the coconut water came though in taste. Even though the kids didn't seem to care much for it, I liked it.

There are two very noticeable differences between Pitaya from Central America and Pitaya (or Dragon Fruit) that comes from Asia. When you cut open most of the Pitaya from Asia, you will discover that it is very white on the inside. However, when you cut open a Pitaya from Central America the inside is a dark red magenta. The white varieties from Asia tend to be very bland and do not carry a lot of nutrients. However, the Pitayas from Central America have what some would describe as an earthy strawberry-raspberry taste. The deep color also signifies that the fruit carries a lot of nutrients and is packed with Antioxidants. source
