As far as I've seen, saguaro fruits aren't sold commercially like prickly pear fruits are. They could probably be found for sale on a Native American Reservation though. I have tried them once and have had various products made out of them. They are very much like prickly pears, a sweet soft flesh with many tiny seeds on the inside. Since the saguaro is endangered, it isn't legal to harvest the fruit of saguaros that are on public property.
And I agree with you, I love learning more about the saguaro! It seems like the Sonoran Desert is full of amazing plants!
Beautiful spotting!
Bernadette- People do snack on this fruit! The native people have used the Saguaro fruit as a main source of nutrition for many years. To this day, it is used in various ways!
I love that you took photos of the saguaro when its past its prime! You should really add it to this mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1220...

Changed it to focus on the saguaros prominent in this photograph. Hope it's okay now, thank you!
