cactus pears on plate

Handle with Care

Prickly pear cactus fruit is good to eat. You remove the stickers and peal and eat the fruit. It is filled with small seeds, somewhat like a kiwi fruit. Jo used to pick them when they were ripe and eat them when horseback riding when she was thirsty. You need good leather gloves to pick them. :) Another kind of pear!
