Mexican patella cactus fruit






Ken's all ready to forage for the delicious and (we are sure) healthy patella fruit. Armed with his "picker" made from a long handled wash brush with a trouble-light basket attached to the end (those thorns can be nasty and he has to remove them from the cactus somehow). Long sleeves and boots are a necessity  when he heads out into the bush.


Cactus fruit with the thorns attached, the way they look when they first are picked from the plant. The thorns are carefully removed after which the fruit can be peeled and kept ready to eat, in the fridge. We eat these delicious fruit, which taste like a cross between a strawberry, kiwi and...maybe...watermelon, plain, on cereal for breakfast and they make a very interesting daiquiri.

Part of our healthy lifestyle here in Baja!
