  1. It doesn't. However if you remove the prickles and skin the "meat" you can eat it.


  2. A "pear" the fruit of the plant. It makes good juice also.

  3. The fruit is not usually considered, although after flowering it does have one. We can eat the flat fleshy leaf... rather tough and does not taste all that great (or an acquired taste). I never tried eating the fruit.

  4. The fruits of most prickly pears are edible and sold in stores under the name "tuna." Prickly pear branches (the pads) are also cooked and eaten as a vegetable. They, too, are sold in stores under the name "Nopalito." Because of the glochids, great care is required when harvesting or preparing prickly pear cactus. Both fruits and pads of the prickly pear cactus are rich in slowly absorbed soluble fibers that may help keep blood sugar stable. Prickly Pear Nectar is made with the juice and pulp of the fruits.

  5. its some kind of sugary chewy candy try looking it up

  6. AS THE NAME IMPLIES IT GROWS A SORT OF PEAR THAT IS EDIBLE, AND TASTES RATHER NICE. IT TURNS A PURPLISH BLUE WHEN RIPE.
