I recently got to visit HEART Village, a local nonprofit in Florida where I was introduced to Apple Cactus fruit (Cereus repandus) for the first time. It’s as sweet as a piece of candy and looks like a Dragon fruit!
Josh Jamison was telling us how he and his wife, Emily, like to dry the fruit. Once we got home I stuck it in the dryer for a few hours, maybe close to 5, which I think ultimately was too long. Either way, though, the dried fruit was delicious!
What are other ways people have enjoyed eating Apple Cactus fruit?
