Prickly pear
🗓 Season: August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Turns from green to red, orange, or yellow depending on species. Ripe when skin gives slightly and colour is fully developed. Use tongs and burn off the tiny glochid spines with a flame or rub in sand before handling. Sweet, mild flesh.
Small patch of prickly pear right off of the sidewalk - not in anyone's yard. Didn't see any fruit, even though there should be some this time of year. Could still eat the paddles, though.
