The prickly pear, also known as the "opuntia," is a true delicacy from the world's arid regions. Its bright yellow to red skin conceals a sweet, refreshing flesh full of vitamins and antioxidants. With its slightly sweet and delicately fruity flavor, the prickly pear is perfect for desserts, salads, or as an exotic snack.
The taste is sweet and delicate. Cut the prickly pears lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Or peel them, slice them, or dice them. An exotic delicacy.
