Like the majority of cactus species, prickly pear is native to the Americas. It is believed that they are originated from Mexico but humans have introduced them into many other areas of the world. Native American populations used to eat prickly pear leaves, fruits, and roots for centuries.

Mexico is the largest producer of prickly pear cactus in the world as it accounts 50% of world production. However, significant amounts are produced in Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina and Israel.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
