Fruity

I was at the grocery store today and noticed this odd fruit, I had never tried it before and it looked interesting. I love trying new fruit, especially if it would make great photos!

This is a prickly pear, it grows on a cactus.

My fingers were not very grateful for this fruit.

I looked online on how to even eat it.

I found out that soaking the fruit in water will get rid of the pricklys,

then you can peel it like you would a peach. The skin is slightly more tough than a peach.

There is a layer of skin and the fruit is soft like a peach but there are seeds in it.

The taste is similar to pomegranate and berries.
