Barrel cactus fruit

Barrel cactus fruit is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Found growing on top of barrel cacti throughout the Mojave, the fruit has a distinctive shape and yellow color, making it easy to harvest. It offers minor hydration, and is best used as a crafting ingredient for the desert salad, homebrewed Nuka-Cola and blood shield (the last two require Honest Hearts).

The fruit will eventually respawn after being collected.

Crafting
In Old World Blues, this item can be crafted by the player.
