The fruit of the Opuntia Ficus-Indica might be better known as a prickly pear or tunas in Spanish, but Claudia Villalobos, a sales specialist with the farm, prefers cactus pears. The name sounds less dangerous and confusing. And as the fruits make for a sweet snack or a margarita mixer, the pads of the cactus make nopalitos, an okra-like dish Mexican cooks often add to tacos and scrambled eggs.
