One day, I was fooling around to do nothing and I found this in TsimShaTsui Citysuper supermarket.
At first, I didn't really sure are they really the babies of Cactus, so I have checked from internet.
Description
The fruit's skin color is dark orange when ripe and is covered with sharp and thin spines. It is thick and full of water to protect the pulp inside. The pulp has a full fine taste and has a firm consistency. Small black oblong seeds riddle the pulp and give consistency to it.
Availability
All year round

Those figs are so sweet even some of their skin are still green in colour. The seeds made me feel uncomfortable when I ate the pulp,it wasn't easy to spit them out separately so I chose to swallow the seeds at all. Some people said those seeds isn't good for tummy because it will cause constipation, however I am Okay.
Beware of picking up those figs, they still got many tiny little spines around the skin, they hurt me and my youngest daughter many times. Still got some spines sting into our smooth skin, oh poor us :P
