The sugar curing method the TTDARES has developed for organic pitaya peels requires no cooking (and thus no use of energy) to keep as much of the nutrition in the peels as possible. Moreover, the ingredients are easy to obtain, and the procedure is simple and short, allowing the peels to be eaten right after preparation. This is perfect for use at home, recreational farms, and as a DIY at food and agricultural education events, as it allows participants the fun of using their hands and the enjoyment of a delicious treat. Also, the peels may be used to add a new look and more appeal and possibilities to other dishes.
