A price look-up code assigned to a specific variety of pitahaya, characterized by its vibrant yellow skin and white flesh with small, edible black seeds, differentiates it from other types of the fruit. This identifier facilitates efficient inventory management and accurate pricing at the point of sale in retail environments. For example, when a cashier enters the designated numbers into the system, the correct product and price are automatically displayed.
The use of this coding system ensures consumers are charged the correct amount for this particular type of tropical fruit. Its unique characteristics, including a sweeter taste compared to the more common red or pink varieties, contribute to its desirability. Historically, the cultivation of this fruit has expanded from its native regions to various tropical and subtropical areas, increasing its availability in global markets.
