Avoid peeling prickly pear with water and ice
The article discusses a simple trick that involves soaking prickly pear fruit in ice-cold water before peeling to make the process easier and reduce the risk of prickly spikes sticking to your hands. The steps include immersing the fruit in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes while gently moving it around, then peeling it with a knife and tongs. Experiences confirm that water and ice help decrease the fine, stickable spines on the surface and make the fruit more firm, which facilitates harvesting and avoids pain. However, this method does not remove all large or deeply embedded spines, so it is recommended to use sharp tools or gloves during peeling. Experts warn against incorrect practices such as holding the fruit directly or applying excessive force, as these can increase the transfer of spikes to the hands. It is also essential to wash your hands thoroughly after handling the fruit.
