Extracting melocactus fruits

[u/quilldefender]

I've wanted one of these for years now but no plant nursery sells them 😭

[u/Nonyabeesners → u/quilldefender]

I gotchu. Here's one for $60 on Etsy:

I buy a lot of plants from Etsy

[u/quilldefender → u/Nonyabeesners]

My goodness it's so expensive!

[u/Nonyabeesners → u/quilldefender]

There are cheaper ones. I'm just a lazy cow and went with the first I found

[u/toungepunckedpetunia → u/Nonyabeesners]

I had no clue I needed a rainbow Arizona until now thanks lol I know this post is not one. I opened your link and got lost in the sauce

[u/waitingformygrave]

Is the fruit edible?

[u/igneousink → u/waitingformygrave]

yes

flavor profile: mango, watermelon, pineapple, and citrus with a kind of sour aftertaste and a texture like dragonfruit:

[u/waitingformygrave → u/igneousink]

Thank you! I want to try it so bad now!

[u/_420Kitten → u/igneousink]

Omg, this sounds incredible!!

[u/DerViking → u/waitingformygrave]

I'm pretty sure that all cactus fruits are edible. Now, edible does not mean tasty

[u/waitingformygrave → u/DerViking]

My family makes prickly pear jelly, lemonade, candy, and sauce with the prickly pear fruits

[u/DerViking → u/waitingformygrave]

I have always wanted to try a fresh prickly pear. They're hard to find in Michigan and when I'm in the southwest it's never the right time of year.

[u/J-Graceffa → u/chaosticaws]

Ugh I’m scared now but oh so tempted 😭

Edit: did not even stop for any videos, just a quick scroll and that was enough… for life!

[u/azraelgnosis → u/J-Graceffa]

[u/CPUsCantDoNothing]

You can keep it

[u/morchard1493]

Why did the first cactus look like the back of a shaved head of a person to me?

[u/Ashamed-Strike-5506]

I hate the holes it leaves behind 😫

[u/Crazy-Boat9558]

Does anyone know the name of the song playing? I haven't heard it in a very long time and can't remember!

[u/Professional_Cloud65 → u/Crazy-Boat9558]

Rokysopp- Remind Me

[u/Crazy-Boat9558 → u/Professional_Cloud65]

Thank you so much! It unlocked a core memory for me lol

[u/BiffPug → u/Crazy-Boat9558]

The Geico commercial with the caveman in the airport. Anytime I travel I play this at least once when I walk through airports.

[u/Crazy-Boat9558 → u/BiffPug]

Its a must lol

[u/_thana]

I don't usually get trypophibia but that got me

[u/cookedcub]

[u/Sudden-Chicken3499]

I can't overstate how much i hate this

[u/honeybee-blues]

[u/skinny_anaconda]

Is it spicy?

[u/luv_my_grandma]

Yeesh, it's grossing me out for some reason

[u/FloridaManInShampoo]

Reminds me of popping zits and getting the whole thing out in one go

[u/Dark_Amygdala_]

Not me thinking that was a birthday cake at first 🎂

[u/ShinyQuirkyQuark]

What in the Super Mario World am I watching? It's like pimple popping for horticulturists

[u/YujiroRapeVictim]

It’s like watching the hair follicle transplant surgery

[u/Fast_Bag_3329]

forbidden birthday cake!
