Given the err .. exotic nature of your request, I'd have to probably guess that the Botanical Gardens is the best place for you to start your reference. Ask the curator if he/she has an idea ( and my bets are they will )

oh Thank you.
But what i'm asking is the raw prickly pears for food... to eat.. I need the nutrition of it. not the plants to visit..

Thanks for all your replies.

I know what is prickly pears. I don't eat them. I used to feed my reptiles on prickly pears. Excellent food for them. But in HK i can't find any for sale......... That's why i asked that..
