Experience a taste of the exotic with our premium Red Cactus Pear Fruit Box – now available for order across the UK. These distinctive prickly pears, native to Mexico and Central America, are celebrated for their vibrant appearance and refreshingly sweet, watermelon-like flavour.

Product Features

• Size & Shape:
  Our red cactus pears are small to medium in size, measuring approximately 5–10 centimetres in length with an oval, avocado-like shape. Their thick skin transitions from a light green when unripe to a deep, rosy red at peak ripeness.
• Unique Appearance:
  Each fruit develops from blossoms in hues of yellow, pink, red, or purple on the cactus pads (nopales). The outer skin is adorned with rough bumps and spines (glochids), while microscopic hair-like spines remain in the areoles. When peeled, the brilliant pink flesh reveals numerous firm, brown-black seeds – easily removed if desired.
• Flavour & Texture:
  The flesh is exceptionally juicy and sweet with a distinctive taste reminiscent of watermelon. Enjoy these fruits as a raw snack or incorporate them into recipes for salads, smoothies, sauces, or desserts.
• Seasonality:
  Red cactus pears are at their best from late summer through early spring, ensuring you enjoy them at their optimal flavour and texture.

Culinary & Health Benefits

• Versatile Ingredient:
  Whether you add them to yoghurt, mix them into a fresh salsa, or blend them into a smooth puree for jams and marmalades, these fruits enhance both sweet and savoury dishes. They also pair beautifully with ingredients such as cucumber, feta, and mint.
• Nutrient Rich:
  Red cactus pears are a natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, and dietary fibre, with additional minerals like calcium, potassium, zinc, and iron. Traditional remedies have long used their pulp and juice to support gastrointestinal health and soothe minor ailments.

How to Enjoy

To prepare, gently remove the hair-like spines by peeling the fruit with care. Once de-spined, slice the fruit to reveal the succulent flesh. Enjoy it on its own or as a refreshing topping for salads, desserts, and drinks.
