Fruit of the Week: Prickly Pear

Brand: No sticker

Place of Purchase: Wegman's in Clay, NY

Country/Region of Origin: California, probably

Price in NY: $0.50 each

Description: Pretty, reddish-purple cacti

Flavor: A mix between watermelon, kiwi and water chesnut

Aroma: Sweet berries

Texture/Mouth-feel: Firm, fibrous, with TONS of juice.  There are also many tiny seeds.

Notes:  Tasty.  Crunchy.  However, there wasn't a lot of meat in one fruit.  Also, I really just wanted to drink the juice all day long.  I could imagine buying a dozen of these and sucking them like a vampire.

Good stuff
