Most pitaya may show red urine. Pitaya is divided into two types. One is white pitaya. Eating this type of pitaya urine will not turn red. The other is red pitaya. If you eat more red pitaya, your urine may turn red. Because red pitaya is rich in a large number of red pigments, most of these red pigments will not be absorbed and utilized by the human body after eating into the body. Some of them will be excreted through stool, and the other part will be absorbed into the blood circulation through blood. After urine is formed, the urine is red. There is no red blood cell in the urine routine test, which is caused by pitaya red urine.
