There are several varieties of prickly pears. Some are yellow, others orange or red. Maison Ponthier selected a prickly pear from its country of origin, Mexico, where it appears on the national flag. Indeed, Mexican prickly pears are distinguished by the sweetness of their taste and the astonishing ruby ​​color of their flesh. Mexican cactus varieties also have the best drought resistance capacities, with more than 1000 varieties counted in the regions where rainfall is the scarcest. The plant has long, paddle-shaped stems covered with spines. In season, it produces beautiful flowers that turn into oval-shaped fruits 5 to 10 cm long.
