Yellow Dragon Fruit Box

Hylocereus megalanthus,  is a type of Dragon Fruit plant native to northern South America, which belongs to the cactus family.  The fruit produced by this plant is officially known as Yellow Dragon Fruit. Yellow Dragon Fruit is the sweetest variety of dragon fruit, and is certainly one of our favorites.  Ripe dragon fruit can range from mildly sweet to immensely sweet, with a blend of tropical flavors reminiscent of watermelon, kiwi, and pear.  Dragon fruits are oftentimes eaten chilled, by simply slicing the fruit in half and scooping out the wonderful pulp with a spoon. The fruit is also commonly peeled and cut into cubes or slices for serving in all kinds of creative fruit dishes. The translucent white flesh of the fruit is juicy and refreshing. There are many small edible seeds suspended throughout the fruit flesh which are soft, and inseparable from the fruit, and thus always eaten. However, the skin or peel of the fruit is not edible.

Dragon fruits are an excellent source of essential nutrients and vitamins. The seeds contain essential fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-9, as well as other healthy oils.

Yellow Dragon Fruit is harvested once it becomes a bright yellow color. Our Dragon Fruit is always shipped ripe and ready to eat; therefore, no ripening phase is required once you receive your box.

We recommend placing a Pre-Order on our Yellow Dragon Fruit when it is not listed as In-Season. Pre-Orders are a great way for you to reserve your box of Dragon Fruit ahead of the Seasonal Rush. Please see Pre-Orders below, for more information. Yellow Dragon Fruit is one of our top favorites and you won’t want to miss out on these golden beauties!

Why Our Fruits Are the Best:

Our fruits are allowed to grow on the trees further into the growing season to allow proper fruit development for optimal flavor, vitamin and nutrient content.  Our fruits are picked from our own rare tropical fruit trees, from the trees of our local partners, collectors, and sourced internationally from sustainable organic niche farmers.  Follow us on Instagram @Fruitpeople_com

Pre-Orders will ship in the order they are received, as soon as the fruit is in season and ready to be picked. 

• Small Box contains approximately 3-5 pounds of fruit
• Medium Box contains approximately 8-10 pounds of fruit

Box weight and amounts vary depending on fruit type, volume and density.  All boxes are shipped with sustainably produced biodegradable packing material instead of Styrofoam or bubble wrap.  See our Shipping Guide for more information pertaining to our shipping schedule.

Please be mindful of estimated delivery times for orders, as prolonged package exposure to outdoor weather conditions, such as snow or extreme heat, will affect perishable produce.

Pre-Orders:

When one of our fruits is not currently in season, or has sold out, we highly recommend placing Pre-Orders. Placing a Pre-Order of our rare and premium tropical fruits reserves your Box for the following season. When supply is low and demand is high, Pre-Orders are shipped first. Pre-Orders are shipped in the order in which they are received for each type of fruit. Your Pre-Order is shipped as soon as the fruits are in season and ready to be picked. Some fruits have only one season per year, others have multiple seasons.  Please refer to our Fruit Seasons Guide for more information.
