Questions & Answers

Where did 18a pear go?

The following description can be used

How can 9 apples be so expensive when I bought 9 at a fruit market for 3 dollars?

From desert areas, these items must be shipped. If you live in the North, this is not so common.

Green and slightly give to the touch, my teeth are still green. They're ready to eat, aren't they? Do you know if it is possible to extract the seeds easily?

We put the ripe flesh in a blender, and screen on the seeds. They taste better if you wait until they're full ripe. The taste will improve if you keep it chilled. A farmer market near our home has them now, and they can be bought for a good price (like 30 cents to 50 cents a fruit for the whole box, and they last for a long time).

Do they really come in 10 pieces? Which color would you rather have?

They are made up of a mixture of green and red and have 10 pieces to them. The pieces are green and red in some cases. In some cases, the colour scheme is all red, and in others, it's

Selected User Reviews For Melissa's Fresh Cactus Pears, Set of 10

I like how fresh and flavorful it is
5/5

We were pleased with the freshness and flavor of the fruit. The juice has a minimum shelf life of two weeks if you keep it refrigerated. Fruits that are left on the counter can be frozen by locking them inside a ziplock bag. It doesn't take long for them to thaw out. These are what I use to make a cocktail syrup. Peel a fruit and mash or blend it with a little simple syrup after you peal off the outside skin. There is a thick and viscous juice in the end. I can taste watermelon in the flavor. Gives a nice vivid magenta, blue, or red color It is a pale green With homemade bitters and lemon peel in a gin martini, it is simply divine. Thanks a lot!.

Make sure the glochids are taken care of
4/5

I found them to be a bit expensive when I purchased Despite the fact that they were still not quite ripe, this actually worked in my favor since I could let them sit for a while, and they were quite suited for juice once I squeezed them through a There is almost a blackberry flavor to this. The process to remove the spines would have been useful to me if I knew exactly how it was done. Cactus spins, as well as tiny glochids, the evil twin of the spine, are found on prickly pear fruit. When they are inside of you, they are nearly impossible to see and even more challenging to get out. Originally, I thought they were removed as well, but I still have a few left Other than that, this is a very good.

It was less than six good fruits out of the six
3/5

The other four were soft and mushy. As soon as I received it, it was just what I wanted. Although the fruit was fresh, I asked for a refund when it was late, and I believed that I was being given the product that was not fresh. There were only about six good fruits out of the dozen I picked, while the other four were very soft to the touch and not firm. One had even Since my fruit is canned, and these were not, I would have appreciated a refund and compensation for the delayed delivery by a day. I prefer my fruit very fresh due to preservation reasons, and they Online I can get much better fruit. I did not find this to be worth the time or money I put in.

I really liked the taste, the service and the packaging
5/5

On the occasion of my uncle's 93rd birthday, I sent him this card. While growing up in southern Italy, him and his family consumed large quantities of these. It was a treat to see these. A friend of mine gave me one to try and I.

The food was fresh and tasty
4/5

Cactus pear berries are actually cactus fruits, and in the photo advertising this offering, several types of cactus pears appear in a mixed offering, while the text promises "Cactus Pears come from several kinds of cactus fruit. " There is no truth in this statement. There were no orange or red pears for me, only green cactus pears Based on the skin of an Opuntia ficus These are indications. It was about what I can get locally for a fifth of the price, but I was disappointed that I did not get a mix. The quality was excellent, nonetheless. Local grocers and farmers markets should be able to offer these locally, so even if you live far away you should not worry about getting them here. Definitely overpriced. It will work fine, but I feel as if they are overpriced.

The fruit is really good for fresh fruit
4/5

I ordered it for my mom, she loves it. Unlike last time, I got 13 instead of 10, but a couple of them had soft spots and one had a bit of a lump in its side.
