The prickly pear is the fruit of the cactus plant, a delicious fruit that can be eaten by humans, but this fruit is relatively rare in China, because China is suitable for cultivating small ornamental cacti, which rarely bloom and bear fruit. However, in the tropical regions of South America, a large number of large cacti grow, and the prickly pear is the fruit of these large cacti. The mature prickly pear has tender flesh and sweet taste, and its edible value is particularly high, but there are also some taboos when eating it that people need to pay more attention to.
