Texas native edibles… Texas Persimmons are just starting to turn color to the deep purple of ripeness. Prickly Pear tunas(fruits) are also starting to turn color to the deep red of ripeness. Both of these native fruits were harvested by indigenous people but are rarely harvested today. Another more popular native edible, Mustang Grape, is harvested by some folks for jelly and wine-making.
