Cactus Figs

When ripe, Cactus figs are juicy and aromatic offering a mildly sweet flavor reminiscent of citrus, banana, melon, and fig. Cactus figs are well suited for raw preparations as their mild flavor often gets masked in the cooking process. The spines must be removed before use and can be burned or scrubbed off using gloves and tongs. The skin also needs to be removed and can be slowly peeled away from the flesh. Once prepared, Cactus figs can be consumed raw or chilled. They can be scooped out with a spoon or cubed and used in fruit salads, smoothies, on top of oatmeal and yogurt, in acai bowls, cereal, and in salsa. The raw flesh can also be pureed to use on ice cream, with yogurt, or in sorbets. Cooked Cactus figs can be transformed into jams, syrups, or as pie filling. Cactus figs compliment chicken, shrimp, other tropical fruits such as lemon, lime, and banana, watermelon, and honeydew melon.
