Cactus Fruit

   I sprayed some of the immature Opuntia robusta fruits down with water to remove some of the spines.

 

   It won’t take them all off, but will reduce the spininess some.

   We’ll wash them down a few more times as they start to ripen.

 

   Before we pack them, we’ll wipe them down to remove the last of the spines. 

 

   Here’s some photos of the ‘before and after’.
