Add salt and lime to it 😃👍

My dad moved to California from Texas in the 60s. No one had any fajitas at the grocery stores. So he asked to speak to the butcher and a couple of Mexicans came out from the back. He got some fajitas that day.

TheENofficial yes it's really good with chorizo tacos

@TheENofficial yeah it’s real and very common in México

@TheENofficial it's delicious if you know to prepare them.

Yeah if ur going out into the middle of nowhere u usually have a survival kit? that includes lots of stuff like first aid, distress signals, and sometimes a salt shaker.

salt makes everything better sweet stuff also alot of desserts have salt in them and it goes especially well with chocolate. As a matter of fact my favorite chocolate has himalayan salt in it.

Lol

xDead Dolly , Trick for prickly pears is to run a flame over em before plucking them from the plant. My mother taught me that 60 years ago. Wed gather 5 gallon buckets of them & make jams. Pretty much the same for any cactus. Small propane torch works great but any flame will do.

Don't you mean the Nopal, instead of the prickly pear? The prickly pear is the fruit that grows out of the cacti, isn't it?

@@PsychedelicSkull that's something that I was wondering too, like the pear is the tuna the fruit, not the leaves.

@@PsychedelicSkull the cactus itself is referred to as a “prickly pear cactus.” In Mexico the call them nopales. But yes, the actually fruit that grows on it is called the pear or tuna. Both parts ate edible and very nutritious.

in Australia there called prickly pears and its only the yellow fruit people eat but im going to try the leaves now. you know in my grand mothers time they had these plants but nobody new you could eat the leaves ..things were hard then no shops no welfare so they would grow onions and store then for hard time then eat boiled onions with white sauce ( flower and water ) for weeks or even months ..im thinking if they new about this cactus life would have been a lot better

luis rodriguez In Norway motorized chairs are called "Scoot-mobiles" haha just kidding! .... it`s true tho.

@@haroldharold3908 yup, in mexico we eat the yellow fruit too, "tunas". You can search also "nopales en salsa roja" or "nopales en chile colorado" good receipts and cheap

Is this true

luis rodriguez I’m from Mexico. We use Castilian cactus with small thorns. We also use new pads and not old pads. Old pads are fibrous and new pads are tender. This kind of cactus has a smell to them while Castilian pads have a faint, more tolerable scent. Pack rats love this kind of cactus.

Ali Ben quite abundant in South Africa too actually.

Cut it up into small squares, sauté until tender and then add some onions and eggs - delicious!

Un México se had eaten THIS cactus ,se call It NOPALES for centuryes It has being food for our PEOPLE..

@@albertovelazquezramirez5109 speak English or Spanish stop mixing hey subscribe to me I just subbed Read more

Ali Ben make sure to pick the young dark green pads, when they still have soft thorns. They are much tastier, the pads in this video were far older than I would want to eat! They are very good when young.

I guess you caught me

both of them correct

Lol ...TrUe

I- how how the heck do you know this

they can go great with some chili or a stew!

Junkyard Fox but is not the kind of nopal people eat in Mexico!! desert nopales are tough af!!

i know, in mexico you can find nopal green and soft (*tierno*) on a side of a river or almost anywhere and it's really tasty, we eat nopal with ground meat and sometimes with cheese. It's good with everything

I'm from New Zealand and there are no deserts out here. This video was very informative and I was happy to learn that you can eat the cactus pads and not only the fruit! :)

How does it taste

Hm good to know

Ah yes. *dessert.*

from mexico to the Mediterranean, to north africa, even australia, this is a popular, abundant food.

Christoper Lim 99% of ppl eating this are "surviving" at the breakfast table.

well if youre an outdoorsman, you'll quickly learn to carry a few spices in your pack, whether cooking cactus or roasting a rattlesnake, spices make food more enjoyable. if you dont have any, well just eat the food without any. simple.

They use their own sweat to make salt

Ayo_iitzYeBoiiPotato Gaming shut the hell up my man shut the fuck up

Both salt and spices (barks, herbs, roots) originate in salt lake, desert and wilderness areas so why not? You probably meant using the shakers for it much like using a grill rack and knife isn't at all primitive forms of cooking.... should have used a rock and a huge bone right?

lol

No. Cactus came from the Americas. There were no more camels there so humans have been eating them here before camels came across cactus.

does she cook it the same way or add anything different please

@@haroldharold3908 don't be afraid to experiment with these make anything you think could work(be sure it's cooked tho) there are many ways to serve them a couple of examples *sliced with eggs mix vegetables/meats salads fish chicken *etc... it can also be used in *salsas/ sauce like guacamole * PUT IT IN A HOTDOG you can also search "*recetas con nopales*" or english.. if you plan on going out and cut some be very careful with your hands if you're not wearing gloves (i never did and neither has my grandmother to this day) use a sharp kitchen knife for quick cutting and to remove spines BUT if you want pinpoint accuracy like you've never seen before use a small razor blade to remove the small spines

thank you im from Australia and lots of people eat the yellow fruit that grows on it but never heard of anybody eating the leaves.. there not native to Australia but in places they grow wild and others grow them as a garden plant so now im interested to try something new

@@haroldharold3908 good luck and i hope you find a recipe that suits you

Harold Harold 1. Shave the nopal (cactus leaf) with the blade, just the skin layer with the thorns. 2. Once nopales are skinned give a quick rinse to remove some of the small hair like spines 3. Slice or cube the nopal then put on a pot with a small amount of water, should be about a quarter in relation to the nopales weight. Add onion, garlic and cilantro while it boils. Also a bit of salt. The nopal releases a lot of water while being cooked so the water in the pot will rise a lot. Once they are cooked strain the water out, and you can eat them as they are, or you can also, lightly fry and add eggs, or add some tomato sauce and Chile ( hot pepper). My grandmother fries some pork loin then adds onions and a tomato sauce with oregano a bit of spices and California pepper lets it boil a bit and adds the nopales in. There are a lot of recipes. We have a few nopal planted around the house so we eat them all year long. They easy like grow with proper care and every 2 weeks or so we have new leafs ready for picking.

howdy cousin! thanks so much for watching!

@@AngelHernandez-sj4nk said the discord mod

In Mexico they're grown for eating, so we have very tender and fresh ones, and then people at the market clean the pads for us so we don't have to deal with thorns at all. Funny, in Spanish the prickly pear fruit is called "tuna" they're juicy and very sweet.

@@onegrapefruitlover That's so interesting, I would've never thought that people eat them in normal conditions. Jamaica also has strong Spanish influences so that's probably why we call it as 'tuna'.

In some parts St Thomas they use the tuna in hair as a type of treatment. I live in Kingston n I've actually eaten them like he did. No pepper tho

Hello Anna, I’m glad you enjoyed our video. Though I gotta say, this is an older video and hasn’t aged well. Here’s the link to a newer video with better information and presentation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftacdMdjrcmUook.html

That's what I was thinking about mine too, I knew they get ripe in late summer/fall. I've been watching on youtube many ways to process (de-spine) and use them. Poo, if you watch a dozen different takes a pattern emerges. But I didn't come up with a plan this year so a weird old lady stole my stash. LOL just kidding, this year she was welcome to them. Oh but as an aside the ones in the super are green and awful.

yeah a lot of people make smoothies from the cactus fruits.

Does it taste sweet

Kian Vlogs the fruits are super good (yes sweet)...u must know how to get into it, look it up, u need to do yo homework on it, unless u were taught at a young age. Not saying u need allot of work on it, but a few pointers...
