Ilse Castrejón

In Mexico, we have a delicious fruit from the nopal cactus, the prickly pear. It has a firm, juicy consistency and a lot of liquid. Peeling the fruit can be tricky since the skin is thick and has thorns. Here we show you a simple way to peel the prickly pear without getting pricked, and we also show you how to make a refreshing prickly pear water that you and your whole family will love.
