Not yet edible but in a month or 2 those Indian fig fruits will become delicious.

We call those Prickly Pears here in Texas. They make a wonderful jelly, when you can find it. John

After keeping them in ice for some time we devour them...

I've heard of Prickly Pears, but never seen one growing. Interesting pictures Doc.

I never knew Prickly Pear had fruit before, very good photos Doc, I remember it got loose here at one time, probably from someones garden and they had a big eradication program too get rid of it, it ran rank in our type of climate and soil conditions covering whole districts.

I have heard about them but never tasted. Excellent photos Doc.

Unbelievable, Dr. Harout!

Unbelievable, because I see these fruits since my babyhood, yet never have I tasted it! My mother put me off as a child because of the spiky bristled skin. Maybe I'll have go next time I see it lying in ice somewhere around the market...

Thanks for the reminder!

I had one once a trip thru Peru in the '80's, but don't remember the taste. I do remember the story that they will stop you up if you eat too many, and how my host knew that to be true!
