The benefits of eating steamed dragon fruit

As the weather gets cooler, more and more people cannot eat fruit because they think it is too cold. So I wondered if I could heat up the fruit and eat it warm. Actually, it is possible. Generally, fruits like apples and bananas can be steamed or heated in a microwave as long as the temperature is not too high. The same goes for pitaya.

In the cold winter, you can choose to steam the dragon fruit. Dragon fruit can be heated and eaten, but it is recommended that the temperature should not exceed 70 degrees, otherwise it will cause the loss of anthocyanins in the dragon fruit.
