Prickly pears

Prickly pears (Native American fig, Indian fig, Indian fig, sabr, prickly pear, tsabr). Cactus! The real one, just not so decorative that it may grow in your home, but a large tree-like plant. The main place of growth (remember westerns) is America (both continents). Do not be embarrassed that some variations of the name contain the adjective “Indian”, if you remember the school history course, you understand that it has only an indirect relation to India (Columbus swam to open the way to India, here is confusion).

Of course, they do not eat thorns, but fruits (although they are also prickly …) of small sizes (up to 10 cm), which can be of different shades (green, red or yellow). Their flesh is sweetish-sour (they say it looks like persimmon), they eat it with a spoon, but to get to it, you must first soak the fruit for 20 minutes in cold water, then remove the small thorns and cut the peel.

Of course, this is one of the most exotic fruits that not every tourist will be able to try.
