About Eastern prickly pear

Eastern prickly pear is the name of a prickly-pear cactus food, but this record does not specify which part of the plant is meant. Prickly-pear foods may refer to the fruit or to young cactus pads, and those forms differ in appearance and culinary use. No particular species, preparation, or product is established by the catalogue entry.

Depending on the part and preparation, it may be encountered fresh or processed as an ingredient in foods. The record does not support assigning a specific flavour, texture, or use to this item without knowing whether it refers to fruit, pads, or another form. The name is therefore retained at the broad level provided.
