All during the summer, and even now in late October, this fruit (called Kharmouss el Hindi: Indian Figs) is sold on the streets of Morocco. They come from a cactus, so not surprisingly, they have sharp spines on them. Street vendors, who know how to handle the fruit, will slice one open for the buyer, who eats it right on the spot. They are ubiquitous, and the road from Marrakech to Fez is practically lined with these cacti, laden with kharmouss!
