Thorny fruit is a good source of vitamin C


Don't let the cactus pear's prickly thorns keep you away from this good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. Wear heavy rubber gloves, or stick a fork to steady the pear while peeling the purple-red or green skin. It's sweet, melon flavored, ruby-red to golden flesh its best enjoyed cold. And it's a nutrition bargain at only 45 calories. Go healthy this time and enjoy the taste of the nutritious prickly pears.
