Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus Pads (Opuntia cochenillifera)
This particular variety of Spineless Prickly Pear Pads does not possess the large, dangerous spines commonly found in other varieties. It has a mostly smooth surface, with small hair-like thorns called glochids appearing occasionally. These can easily be removed with a vegetable peeler or a paring knife. It is recommended to wear gloves while handling these pads. Not only are they decorative, but also tasty, nutritious, drought tolerant, and require minimal maintenance. They are known to grow quickly in almost any environment. If you would like to have younger, more flavorful pads for cooking or for your reptiles, please let us know!
