The fruits of the cactus plant are edible and quite delicious! You must though be careful when cleaning them from the outer skin. Those tiny thorns can be very very annoying!

I thought they looked like a fruit I've seen at a market before...... Yes those thorns would hurt!
In Greece, they are called Fragosyka (French figs), in Cyprus, we call them Papoutsosyka (shoe figs)!
Always use thick plastic gloves to pick and clean them. They are best served chilled.
Yes, thick gloves is a good idea, maybe I will try while I'm here
