The Coolest thing I have in Penghu
@Janice Kao April 04,2025
Cactus fruit is popular in Penghu, where cacti were historically planted near the ocean to deter pirates. Thriving in deserts with minimal rainfall, cacti find Penghu’s one month of annual rain ideal. Penghu offers a unique environment for cacti to flourish, contributing to the local cuisine and culture. Visitors often enjoy dishes incorporating cactus fruit, which is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients. Cacti have adapted well to the island’s conditions, becoming an integral part of Penghu’s agricultural landscape. Additionally, the historical use of cacti to protect against pirates adds an intriguing element to their presence in the region.
Penghu is known for its unique cactus-based treats, including cactus jelly, cactus cake, and the popular local cactus ice cream. The cactus fruit, which grows with yellow flowers and sharp spikes, has a bright red skin and an even deeper red flesh inside, filled with hard seeds. Its flavor is often compared to dragon fruit, but it’s packed with more seeds. People usually choose to either spit them out or swallow them, depending on their preference.
In conclusion, trying cactus fruit was a new and exciting experience for me. Initially, I was hesitant to eat it, but I eventually tried it and found it quite delicious. If you get the chance to try cactus fruit, be the first to do so; the taste is better than you might expect.
