Description

Stenocereus Stellatus | Organ Pipe | Cactus Species Mix

The fruits of Stenocereus stellatus are known as pitayas. They exhibit considerable morphological variation, especially in fruit characteristics. Pulp colour, flavour, amount of edible matter, skin thickness, and spininess of the mature fruits are the most significant characteristics. According to archaeological information obtained in caves from Tehuacan Valley, S. stellatus has apparently been used by humans for more than 5,000 years.
