Thank you for a simple and beautiful presentation. Saquaro fruit is a thing to look forward to when the days get hot. So delicious, so versatile.

Such a beautiful family tradition. My grandma use to making amazing food and, I never took the time to write the recipe down sadly, her recipes are forever lost. It's great seeing people keeping traditions and memories alive.

What a Very unique and Sentimental Story... Thank you for sharing it ! : )

The process of the wine making sounds very noble coming from the Saguaro tree.I visited Arizona few years ago and. I felt in love with the natural landscape, ❤️

Linda S I know is a cactus, calling it a tree is just a general expression.

I love this so much 💜🌵

I'd love to learn how to make jelly out of the fruit

We have a video that was produced several years back, we hope it helps. It is quite detailed in the methods used to prepare the Saguaro fruit; kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGiJxMaHe7S3m6w.html The people of the Tohono O'odham tribe have special permissions to harvest the fruit in the park when it blooms, which they may sometimes have for sale in shops on the reservation. However, most of the fruit is used by the tribe for cultural and personal reasons. We at Saguaro National Park do not offer food products made from the Saguaro; but, if you want something with prickly pear, we've got you covered!

so is it swaro or suh-gwar-oh? just remembering an old 80s clip they used to play in the classroom..

It's "suhwaro",, thank you for being curious!

There’s a reservation where your family lives there and you do it? Or it’s just long family tradition that’s you guys have done and anyone can harvest those fruits.

The family seen in this video are part of the local Tohono O'odham tribe, who have been harvesting the Saguaro fruit for generations and are allowed to harvest within the park. Members of the public that visit the park may try Saguaro fruit if available on their trip (considering no harm is done to the Saguaro in the process); however, it must be consumed and cannot be taken from the park. We hope that helps :) ​​​​

don't hummingbirds rely on this to survive?
