So I got a fruit from one of these today. Took the seeds out and then ate the fruit (giving a piece to the wife to try also).
We both agreed on how it tasted. Strawberries.
Yep, so if any of you guys are growing these - don't let those delightful little fruit go to waste! They're pretty delicious and I recommend trying them.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Troy.

Re: Mammliaria prolifera Fruit.
We used to have a member who used to pluck them off our plant and eat them. One day when he did we told him we had used systemic insecticide on the plant a few days before and watched him spit them out quickly. We had not, but he did not pinch ours in future.
Seriously though don't eat any fruit off your plants if you have recently used insecticides or fungicides on them, be they systemic or contact, it's quite easy to forget you have.
