Two of the sweet cactus pears


We just noticed in one of our city groceries “a pear like fruit” on the shelf. The size and shape look like the same with a green pear at glance.

- Mexico

- other regions of arid and semiarid


Some countries grow the fruit for commercial purposes, as an important income source of farmers.
