It's the fruit some cactuses make, but yeah never actually had tried one before. So I got one and tried it, looked up on youtube how to slice it to get the fruit out and did that. And idk it tastes pretty good like kind of like watermelon but better, but those seeds do get in the way. But so now I want to get some more of them to like try and just get the juice out of them to drink. Since the tons of tiny hard seeds makes it kind of hard to just enjoy eating the fruit.

Some internet searches say you can just blend it for around 30 seconds, long enough to mix the juice up but not grind the seeds too much, so you can still strain them out.


Has anyone else here tried cactus fruit?
