Elephant Ear Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia dillenii) 仙人掌

The famed cactus of Penghu!

The elephant ear prickly pear cactus (Opuntia dillenii) grows along the seacoasts of the islands, where it is exposed to Penghu's notorious strong winds and intense sunlight, yet still produces a sweet and juicy purple-red fruit.

The reddish fruit is omnipotent and finds its way into every possible snack and dessert imaginable!
