TL;DR

The captivating pitaya fruit is distinguished by its peel and pulp colors, leading to the categorization of three main species: H. megalanthus (yellow peel with white pulp), H. polyrhizus (red peel with red pulp), and H. undatus (red peel with white pulp) (Shah et al. 2023).

Abstract

Pitaya, a beloved tropical fruit, is classified within the Cactaceae family of the Caryophyllales order and comprises species from the Hylocereus and Seleniereus . The captivating pitaya fruit is distinguished by its peel and pulp colors, leading to the categorization of three main species: H. megalanthus or S. megalanthus (yellow peel with white pulp), H. monacanthus or H. polyrhizus (red peel with red pulp), and H. undatus (red peel with white pulp) (Shah et al. 2023). Conspicuously, pitaya stands out
