    Here in Morocco we just eat it as it is after we peel it, yes the seeds are an inconvenience at first but after a bit of time you get used to it, and it seems you tried the red cactus fruit which tend to be less sweeter than the summer cactus fruit (which have a yellow/green colour on it), definitely would recommend the summer cactus fruits since those are sweeter

    My family and I usually just swallow the seeds lol. Usually we peel these, put them in containers, and refrigerate them so that we can have some ready to eat cold straight out of the fridge. Its flavour imo is so much more enjoyable (and very refreshing!) when eaten straight out of the fridge; so good that we don't even bother with spitting the seeds out and just swallow them instead.

    There's green ones, too! My favorite are these red ones. Peel skin, cut into big cubes or coins and place in fridge to chill for an hour or more. However cold you'd like them or not. Sprinkle lime and a bit of Tajin on top 🤌 the seeds can be eaten as well, not chewed on but just swallowed. Like eating guava.

    This is a pretty famous fruit in my country. Most of the times I have this in my house. So prickly pear has small, hard seeds that you cannot bite through, but they are safe to swallow if you prefer. Or You can also use a juicer or strainer to remove the seeds. Hope this helped :) this is how I eat it

    Cactus Fruit is really tender and you can eat the seeds. You barely need to chew it, usually I just mash it with my tongue against the roof of my mouth cuz the fruit is so juicy and soft. You can also use it for smoothies/ milkshakes and sauces too. Very good and refreshing ✨
