Hello,
With the question "Is it okay if the urine is light red after eating red flesh dragon fruit? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Dragon fruit is a fruit that grows on the cactus Hylocereus, also known as the queen of Honolulu - a flowering plant that blooms only at night. The dragon fruit tree is native to Central America and southern Mexico. Currently, dragon fruit is grown mainly in tropical regions of the world. Dragon fruit contains a lot of valuable nutrients for the body. It is considered an excellent source of fiber, iron and magnesium.

You should stop eating and monitor your urine, if it is still light red, you should go to a medical facility for examination.
