About

The Cactus Pear is the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, native to the Americas, which is peeled and eaten raw, juiced or to make candy. The sweet, juicy flesh is filled with small hard seeds, which can be either removed by juicing, or simply swallowed. The young stems of the plant are used in nopales.
