Smells like a Veggie smoothie, has annoying seeds and grows on a cactus plant. This fruit is literally begging for u to leave it alone.🤣🤣🤣

Your opinions are among the only ones I find on YouTube that I find genuine. I love how you don't overexaggerate anything like most creators on here do.

Here in Morocco we just eat it as it is after we peel it, yes the seeds are an inconvenience at first but after a bit of time you get used to it, and it seems you tried the red cactus fruit which tend to be less sweeter than the summer cactus fruit (which have a yellow/green colour on it), definitely would recommend the summer cactus fruits since those are sweeter

Just peel off the skin and enjoy it! The seeds can be swallowed, good texture contrast imo. Also when you peel off the skin watch for tiny spikes that might poke into your skin.

There's green ones, too! My favorite are these red ones. Peel skin, cut into big cubes or coins and place in fridge to chill for an hour or more. However cold you'd like them or not. Sprinkle lime and a bit of Tajin on top 🤌 the seeds can be eaten as well, not chewed on but just swallowed. Like eating guava.

My family and I usually just swallow the seeds lol. Usually we peel these, put them in containers, and refrigerate them so that we can have some ready to eat cold straight out of the fridge. Its flavour imo is so much more enjoyable (and very refreshing!) when eaten straight out of the fridge; so good that we don't even bother with spitting the seeds out and just swallow them instead.

Cactus fruit looks cool, never tried it, I hope it’s good so I just wanna see you react.

[cheezzzzy]

Looks good! I have tried it before. It’s good you enjoyed the fruit.

I grew up in Arizona and had this all the time. The seeds are annoying but I just swallow them 😅

[bunny_lover]

This is a pretty famous fruit in my country. Most of the times I have this in my house. So prickly pear has small, hard seeds that you cannot bite through, but they are safe to swallow if you prefer. Or You can also use a juicer or strainer to remove the seeds. Hope this helped :) this is how I eat it

Edit- you should also try wood apple, white star apple and

I love your vids they are sick and I have seen each one

[common.]

You can blend seeds and drink it with water

[tealoTAG]

I love these so much! My grandma was Armenian and she use to always give them to me after sun-drying them 😀

[bacon_fam]

I remember trying these for the first time a while ago. I thought it was pretty good, unfortunately i was oblivious to the invisible thorns of doom that are straight from hell

[jamilty]

I love your videos keep up the good work 👏

This brings back memories of me spending hours looking for Prickly Pears in RDR1.

[anthonygenejones]

1. Pick pear (if off plant directly use gloves or tongs)
2. Using tongs hold pear to flame to burn off spines.
3. Cool.
4. Cut in half and enjoy
I use a fork to avoid seeds

[epicantos]

There are many different types of this fruit. I’m from NYC and they are known here. FYI, The cactus grows wild all over Mexico; it's also cultivated on plantations. So, it’s used in many dishes. From sweet to savory.

[diocanaja]

grew up eating these (the yellow ones taste a little bit more tart, the red ones are sweeter) but I don't think I ever had one so smooth I could hold it with my hands like you did, usually they are full of really sharp tiny needles.
prickly pear juice + lemon juice makes for an insane granita or shaved ice
for those who drink, prickly pear juice goes really well with sambuca/ouzo/rakija/rakı
