Do you like to travel? Well I do. I went to Refmad Farm in Paayas, Burgos, Ilocos Norte with my family to visit a farm planting dragon fruit. It surprised us that the lady who owned the plantation is from Baguio as well. It is surprising that they make a very affordable ice cream, dragon wine, cookies and cakes out of it and the owner also exports them to Davao City and other places around the Philippines to let them start the good business on growing this fruitful fruit that can heal some sickness.

Come and travel with me, the entrance is only 10 pesos while for children is free! Isn’t amazing? Here’s more, the months of May to November is the fruit’s season. Where 80 pesos to 150 per kilo then on its off season it cost 250 to 300 pesos per kilo, well it is still affordable.

It has come to our attention that the lady owner started planting this Fruit because of her daughter that has cerebral palsy who had a problem with her constipation and unpredicted seizure. A good friend of her from Macau recommended this fruit and decided to put it in business for it has so much potential on it.

The wonders that dragon fruit can do to you and your body are numerous. Dragon fruit is low in cholesterol; regular consumption of this fruit can help you in maintaining a healthy heart in the long run which is good for those who are on a weight loss challenge for the fruit contains omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for our well-being.

Additional benefit you can get from dragon fruit is it’s a good source of dietary fibre than can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease.
