The coapetillas are a type of Desert Fruit, which is a fruit that comes from the cactus plant of the Stenocereus genus, which are indigenous to Mexico. They can only be found in certain regions and during certain times of the year, something that makes them unique worldwide.
Their prickly appearance protects the great treasure that is found in their sweet and juicy pulp, which can stand on its own in worldwide cuisines, where it is considered a highly valuable and exotic food.
