The benefits of eating dragon fruit
The flesh of the dragon fruit is low in calories and fat-free. It also contains plenty of:

Fiber
Dragon fruit is an excellent source of fiber, Ilic says. The daily recommendation for adults is at least 25 grams — and dragon fruit packs 7 grams in a single 1-cup serving.

“Fiber, may benefit gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health,” notes Ilic. “Fiber is also filling, which is helpful if you’re trying to lose weight. People who eat whole, fiber-rich foods are more likely to maintain a healthy weight.”

Nutrients
Dragon fruit has a ton of beneficial vitamins and minerals, including:

Carotenoids (may reduce cancer risk).
Lycopene (may improve heart health and reduce cancer risk).
Magnesium (important for cell function, and dragon fruit provides 18% of the recommended daily amount).
Iron (important for healthy blood and energy, and dragon fruit contains 8% of the recommended daily intake).
Vitamin C (helps your body absorb the iron and boosts immune system health).
Improves gut health
Healthy bacteria in your gut may help digestion and even reduce colon cancer risk. “Some studies appeared to show that dragon fruit promoted the growth of healthy gut bacteria,” “It may have a positive effect on the gut microbiome, the good bacteria in our intestines.”
