Herb of the Month

==================

Edward, one of our rs had asked about DragonFruit. What is

it? Does it have any medicinal value.

 

Answer : Dear Edward

 

Thanks for choosing me to answer your question. Dragon fruit

(Hylocereus Undatus) has a few medicinal qualities. It is also

called " Strawberry Pear " . The ripe strawberry pear is much

appreciated, especially if chilled and cut in half so that the flesh

can be eaten with a spoon. The juice is enjoyed as a cool drink. A

sirup made of the whole fruit is used to color pastries and candy.

The unopened flowerbud can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable.

 

The sap of the stems of H. undatus has been utilized as a vermifuge

but it is said to be caustic and hazardous. The air-dried, powdered

stems contain B-sitosterol.

 

Dragonfruit is also used in a popular drink/tea called " Fire " which

is a drink fortified with ginseng, ginkgo biloba and guarana which is

used as an energy booster.

 

Its also used in different beverages to prevent/treat prevention and

relief from women specific problems (i.e. bladder infections,

hormonal balance and menstrual complications). Other parts of

Pitahaya are also used in different countries. Since its a cactus

species, " To keep the stomach warm " and to make the milk flow after

childbirth, a gruel is made from sahuaro (This is common name of

Pitahaya). The ripe fruit is picked with a long forked stick and the

skin removed and discarded. A little water is added to the pulp,

which is boiled until it becomes light in color; it is then drained

and spread to dry. Next the seeds are removed by stirring the pulp

around in a basket, then they are ground on a metate and mixed with

an equal quantity of whole wheat. Boiling water is now added, and the

whole cooked until it resembles a thin porridge, which is seasoned

with salt.
