What Does A Cactus Pear Taste Like? The flavor of a cactus pear is sweet, but somewhat bland, similar in flavor to a melon. https://www.farmersalmanac.com/what-the-heck-is-a-cactus-pear-15227

Re: Prickly Pear Reply #18 - May 27^th, 2020 at 7:56pm The only thing I can liken dragon fruit to is watermelon - denser, sweeter, but somehow very simple. Like it only has one type of sugar in it. I wouldn't say bland, because the sweetness is strong, but there is nothing else there.

Love watermelon, especially 'seeded' (not that crap seedless Woolworths rubbish with no taste).
Might try Dragon Fruit now.
