Prickly pears - No spines in the skin
My family likes prickly pears very much. They are now also back in the supermarkets to have. It is often said that the spines have been removed. Even with the "shaved" specimens, there are still enough small spines to remind you of what you ate all day long painfully. The spines are so small and fine that you can see them too bad and get out of the skin. They are unpleasant anyway!
I always grab prickly pears with a paper towel, hold the fruit when cutting it with a paper towel. I place the halved fruits on a paper towel that lies on the plate, hold it while spooning it. If the prickly pears in the store are not already in a plastic container anyway, I grab them with a plastic bag from the roll and bag them.
The taste is sweet-sour, red fruits taste different than yellow and green. Where the green can be just as sweet. You are very healthy! You can also make a delicious jam out of it.
