Pink vs. White Dragon Fruit (What’s the Difference?)

There are two common types of dragon fruit:

Pink (Red Flesh) Dragon Fruit

• Bright magenta interior
• Slightly sweeter
• Makes vibrant smoothie bowls
• Higher antioxidant content

This is the one that gives you that bold Instagram color.

---

White Dragon Fruit

• White flesh with black seeds
• Mild, lightly sweet flavor
• Slightly less vibrant color
• Still great in smoothies

If your smoothie bowl looks pale pink instead of bright magenta, you probably used white dragon fruit.

How to Tell the Difference When Shopping

At the store:

• If you can see the cut side, pink flesh is obvious
• Whole fruit with bright pink skin can still be white inside — so check labeling
• Frozen dragon fruit packs usually specify “red” or “pink”
• Look for fruit that’s slightly soft when gently squeezed (like a ripe avocado)

Avoid fruit with dry, brown, or shriveled skin.
