From the opuntia plant, this fruit can actually be dangerous to eat because it's full of thorns. Known as "tuna" in Mexico and the Mediterranean region, it's used to make aguas frescas. Name it.

The fruit from the Prickly Pear cactus is usually dethorned when you find it in the supermarket, for obvious reasons. One of the most common uses of the fruit is to make a sweet syrup to put into fancy margaritas or to poured over pancakes.
