Opuntia phaeacantha, commonly known as the prickly pear cactus, is typically harvested for its fruit and pads. The fruit, known as tunas, should be harvested when they are fully ripe, which is indicated by a deep red or purple color. Use tongs or gloves to avoid the spines and twist the fruit gently to remove it from the plant. The pads, or nopales, can be harvested when they are young and tender, usually in the spring. Cut the pads at the base using a sharp knife. Both the fruit and pads should be handled carefully to avoid the spines, and the pads should be de-spined and cleaned before consumption.Bodem
