Sicilian prickly pears 1 kg

The prickly pears provided by Sa.Ma. Frutta come from the warm and sunny Sicily.

These fruits grow on a plant that belongs to the same family as cacti. Historically, they originated in Mexico but were brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus (who went to America but was convinced he had found the Indies: this is why this fruit is named that way). Right on the shores of the Mediterranean, the prickly pear plant has found a particularly suitable habitat.

Fruits with an unmistakable flavor: prickly pears are a pure concentrate of nutritional properties. They contain both sugars and fibers, with the former providing fuel for the body and the latter preventing excessive absorption. They also contain a lot of vitamin C, which nourishes and protects the immune system.

Prickly pears are also a dietary food because the large amount of fiber literally blocks the path of sugars and the presence of potassium. Therefore, not only do these fruits not cause weight gain, but they are also suitable for a diet.

Sicilian prickly pears 1 kg: use in the kitchen

The prickly pears from Sa.Ma. Frutta (which we present on this page in a quantity of 1 kg) can serve both as a complement to a meal and as a complete snack, nutritious and satisfying.

They could be defined as "all-meal" fruits for their high nutritional values and for the variety of nutrients they provide.

Prickly pears can be an exceptional ingredient for fruit salads and even for salads.

In Sicily, there is a long tradition of cakes, ice creams, syrups, and jams. Some chefs also suggest a risotto with prickly pears!
