How to Juice Cactus Cactus Juice There are juice recipes to make juice of both the pad (vegetable part) and pear (fruit). If you have cactus plants near your house, you can pick the fruit and the pads on your own. While making cactus juice, be careful as there are spines all over the cactus, and if they get in to your skin, they can lead to very bad irritation. Make sure to pick them with a large fork or other instrument. In the case of the pads, you can simply remove the spines, clean them, remove all the bruised parts of the pad, and crush them to extract the juice. The fruit you need to clean with cold water and a brush to remove the spines. Always handle the fruit carefully, as even store-bought cactus fruit can have spines. Cut out the outer layer of the skin on the top and bottom of the fruit, slit it open, and put it into water to boil. When the insides become very soft, you can take them out to strain the seeds and pulp to extract the cactus juice. The fruit of the cactus tastes the best when it is reddish-brown or purple.
