By: Taylor Silva; Chill Buyer
Hi everyone! My name is Taylor and I am the Chill buyer here at
Berryvale. At the beginning of June I attended a food show in Portland, OR.,
where I first came across the Pitaya Smoothie Packs. The salesmen were extremely
friendly and believed 100% in their product, but what really caught my eye was
their sustainable, pedal bike powered blender. Pretty cool, right?
Pitaya fruit was first discovered hundreds of years ago in
Central America, it was then brought by missionaries to Asia where it was
renamed “Dragonfruit”. Pitaya fruit is naturally low in sugar yet packed full
of antioxidants, fiber, magnesium and vitamin B. Not only is it Raw, but it is
also Vegan, Kosher, Gluten and Dairy free to satisfy all dietary needs. All you
need to do is put it in a blender and voila! The vibrant pink created by the
fruit even makes it a fun tasty treat for kids.
What inspires me most to promote this product is not just
the nutritional value, but the morals of the company, Pitaya Plus. Every
smoothie pack of Pitaya sold helps to promote sustainable farming and to create
jobs in poverty stricken areas of Central America. Pitaya Plus also operates
out of one of the only solar-powered facilities in Central America. For more information
on this company you can visit their website : www.pitayaplus.com
In the meantime, stop by the store and grab some pitaya
packs! It is located in the freezer section by the frozen fruit.
Thanks for reading, and if you have tried this product,
