Cactus fig – frozen

Description

Cactus figs are the fruit of a cactus plant. They are small fruits covered in spines which are carefully removed once harvested.The juicy flesh inside is full of small seeds and is flavoured like watermelon and strawberry!

The colour of the fruit varies naturally, from deep purple to orange to green. There are subtle differences in the flavour.

Due to the high proportion of seeds, some people find it more convenient to put the Cactus figs through a juicer to then enjoy the resulting sweet liquid.

The Colombian cactus figs are our recommended variety. They are around two to three times the size of the Italian and Egyptian fruits and have a longer shelf life.
