@@Bob-gn8ph thank you💕

I've tried this method with minimal success. Do you use a large heavy kitchen knife or something small like a paring knife?

I use a big blade, but i find it does not matter if you use iot vigorously enough. I end up scratching all the face of the cactus, those thorns are of the first things to go, given they have a little knob holding them. that reminds me of a video called: "Can A Human Trick Their Mind Into Eating 10 Cacti?" (Our bodies can handle a great many things.) Most of the dishes I eat with that plant are by cooking it by boiling. Not sure if that softens the thorn remnants, but they are not a problem then. Raw, maybe yea you get som stiff bothersome thorns if you are not as meticulous I figure.

I don't think they are edibles they are wild be careful.

@@mimilinda8573 of course they are edible

@@mimilinda8573 you’re clueless

Very nice.

They also have nopales in Sardinia and Israel.

That's a pretty common method that some people use. I don't have a gas stove and didn't want to use the blowtorch in the kitchen. This variety didn't have many spines, so was easy enough to use a knife. If I was outside near a campfire, I'd definitely use fire instead.

Yes watch videos about Fibonacci and the golden ratio it proves creator

Prudence 1733 I ate the whole pad in one sitting. It didn’t mess with my stomach, but even if you added spices, I think you would need other side dishes to really feel satisfied. These days I roast them and add to tacos instead of eating as a main dish.

They sell these at the market in texas and down in mexico

I have eaten them marinated, but never tried myself. I don't think they're particularly fibrous, but you can peel off the exterior to make eat softer.

Thanks for the comment! Always interesting to hear where people are directed to the videos from. The Urban Gardening Arizona Facebook group is at facebook.com/profile.php?id=898605170177444 . I would recommend anyone to look the urban gardening groups in their area and if one doesn't exist, start one!

Awesome, thanks for the tip and I really enjoyed your interview. Very inspiring!

Flat ones.

You can use a cast iron skillet as for a normal pan I’d see about some adding bacon and some spices.

Sure you can. It'll just be a lot more work to prepare it for grilling.

red xcube the fruits start green and turn deep red/purple when ripe. I currently live in Arizona.

I've never tried but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Test it out and comment back and let me know how it goes, please!

sylvia Bryan ,no you shouldn't freeze them, they will just get super slimier , but you can cut them up and put in a ziplock, and cook then with in that same week, fry them with some chopped onion, chopped tomato, and a Lil cilantro, they also make a delicious cactus salad refrigerate till served, for the summer

It would be great to have your mom do a video removing the spines. Showing an experienced cactus chef !! Does she recommend a certain style of knife? I was thinking of sharpening a spoon so I could scoop out the spines easier. The cactus leaves are delicious in so many ways, sautéed, BBQ, soups, blended in the blender, etc... But removing the spines is difficult.

@@richardmang2558 hey that spoon idea sounds pretty cool did you ever try it?

100%

I don't think it's bitter but you won't know for sure until you try! Let me know if you try it and how you like it :)

This particular one was probably 15-20 years old. It was put in shortly after the house was built but before I moved in.

I personally like a bit of char on the pad but roasting over medium flame so far has not produced an over-burned pad. (Though now that I've said that, I may have jinxed the next one I cook!)

I did, yes.

Not particularly bitter, no. Just like a succulent leafy green. You can season them all kinds of ways if you want. I just grilled some up with cajun spices and it was super tasty.

@@jessemsparks OH,I am going to try it

This is prickley pear cactus and has deep purple bulbs/fruit that form on it are tou sure it was same plant?

Agreed that the younger pads are more tender, and if I was going to eat it raw that's what I would have picked. However since I was planning on grilling the pad, the larger ones worked just fine and softened during the cooking process.

Raguan Daba- You sound like you just want to be opinionated, a "know it all". If you listen 8:14 to the actual video he said he didn't want the nopal to go to waste. His neighbor will just cut it down.

Who cares it just adds more flavor:-)

Try again not all cactus are the same

@@Bob-gn8phjust like people’s personalities.
