Greenwalla recommends you go out and eat some cactus fruit RIGHT NOW!
Cactus Pear: (or Prickly Pear)
A lot of people have never tried a cactus pear, but it is a delicious fruit! Look for cactus pears that do not have any dark spots on them, you can wash them and keep them in the refrigerator for seven days. The best way to eat them is to dice them up, eat it plain or use it as a topping for a salad, cereal or soy yogurt. They can be tricky to prepare, here is a short video on how to peal one.
See, they think it’s delicious too. It’s not just me. They’re also called Tunas.
[Pedanticism warning:] Bells peal, fruit peels.

I learned from a friend to enjoy them. Seeds and all. Truly an interesting fruit. I grow a hardy prickly pear cactus in southern Ontario. It is hardy even when the temperatures can drop to minus 10F.

Very good. Don’t eat many at once or they may clean you out!
