Cactus Fruits

   Here’s some photos of the cactus fruits we grow.  The photos were taken last year.

   We had a commercial processor who bought all we sold…. unfortunately, they have gone out of business. We enjoyed providing them with cactus fruits, and hope they will be able to reconstitute and again resume business.

   Meanwhile, this summer and fall and winter we will likely have cactus fruits for sale to the public.  we prefer selling to a wholesaler who does not want them cleaned…. it’s best to clean them at the end destination… but we can’t send them spiny to the general public… so we’ll clean these to be free from glochids and spines.

   We’ll be looking for a suitable sized container…. these have to be in a leak-free plastic container… and packed again into a larger box.  We’ll probably have several options in sizing and combining them with cactus leaves.  When we start those sales, we’ll announce it here and in the newsletter.

   Here’s a video we made of how to peel a cactus fruit.
