What is this? It came off of a prickly pear cactus. I think it is a seed packet.

It looks like a fruit to me, but I’m not used to seeing it green. Usually prickly pears have pink or red fruits unless it is unripe in which case it will be the same color as the rest of the plant. Out of curiosity what type of prickly pear do you have?

I found it on a wild native one
