Dragon fruit is nutritious, unique in function, and has excellent effects on human health.

Therefore, eating dragon fruit with rich albumin can prevent heavy metal ions from being absorbed and poisoning. Albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall. Moreover, the albumin in the flower, fruit and stem of dragon fruit is very good and the stability is excellent. The polymerization of these albumins constitutes the main component of the mucus of the cactus.
