Home made some cactus fruit syrup for agua fresca! ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ต Xoconostle are cheap as heck rn (they're definitely in season when you drive around you can see all the fruits are bright red on the cacti around here) so I bought like 6 huge ones for like $2.80. The cashier accidentally rang it up as passionfruit and it woULD HAVE BEEN $22 IF I DIDN'T NOTICE LIKE WTF MAN. 1) Why are weird fruits so expensive? And 2) Why is prickly pear so cheap? They're so good, but I hate when fruit has so many seeds, like guavas too, it just doesn't feel right to be swallowing so many bits that size. (But sometimes you just don't have a choice when you get a whiff of ripe guava and just have to put the whole thing in your mouth and nom!) Other succulent-grown fruits like dragonfruit have bite-able seeds? Or even pomegranate seeds can be bitten through! Idk, man. Anyway I have a whole bottle of seedless syrup now. The fruits were soooo juicy I didn't even have to add water when I cooked them, and now I get to enjoy my cotton candy naturally neon pink drink. ๐๐๐๐ [He/They/Who] #pricklypear #xoconostle #nopal #cactuspear #cactusfruit #aguafresca #homemade #selfie #me #drink #summerlyfe #cali #opuntia #pink (sa Santa Barbara County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQp-Mzgl9x/?igshid=1ddhcho5du4kd
