What's special at the fruit market in Puglia in September!


By Italian Cooking School in Lecce Puglia Italy providing cooking classes and wine tours (Visit website)

What we really love about the fruit and vegetable markets of Puglia is that only what's in season is sold. All fruit and vegetable change according to the season, and so the colors are totally different.
If you have a chance to go to a market in September, don't miss the delicious and sweet prickly pears.

They grow on a cactus plant. They are green when they are not ripe. Then they turn red, orange or yellow. Our favorite are the red!
In Puglia they ripe in September and so when you go to the countryside you see these beautiful cactus plants with the red and orange fruit.
To pick the prickly pears you need to wear gloves because of the spines.

If you store them in a cool environment they last for about three months. In Puglia we usually serve them as a special fruit at Christmas time.
