Pineapple is a fruit full of flavors from different regions of Colombia where they are produced, Santander (43%), followed by Valle del Cauca (14%) and Meta (12%). A versatile fruit to consume in portions, juices, smoothies, snacks, for desserts and salads. Pineapple significantly contributes water, vitamin C, magnesium, fiber, antioxidants and bromelain to our diet, being a nutritious, refreshing and digestive fruit (USDA, food details). Pineapples, due to their fiber and water content, help prevent constipation and promote regularity and a healthy digestive tract. Pineapples are rich in bromelain, an enzyme that helps the body digest protein. Bromelain also reduces inflammatory immune compounds, called cytokines, that damage the lining of the digestive tract, promoting an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effect (Valderrain-Rodríguez, et al, 2017). Our pineapple is freeze-dried, a process where the water is extracted, maintaining the original flavor and 95% of its nutritional properties, presenting it as a food of long storage stability with complete, easy and fast rehydration.

In Colombia there are about 350 hectares (865 acres) cultivated with pitahaya, or dragon fruit, distributed in Boyacá, Quindío, Santander and Valle del Cauca. It is estimated that the annual production of dragon fruit reaches more than 2,200 tons.

The pitahaya pulp is rich in polysaccharides and mixed oligosaccharides, which act as stimulating factors for the growth of beneficial bacteria lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, acting as a prebiotic. Pitahaya has medicinal values such as reducing hypertension and diabetes, and pitahaya seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids) that lower triglycerides and lower the risk of cardiovascular disorders (Hossain,etal, 2021).
