Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

October 24 - Prickly Pear Tips:

Eaten fresh or used for marmalades and dessert sauces, good-quality prickly pear is egg-shaped and has yellow to magenta coloring depending on the variety. Ripen prickly pears at room temperature. The small seeds are edible, but the rind is not. Be careful of spines that were not removed.

Avoid product that is overly soft or that has dark soft spots.

Available September through May from California and Mexico.
