I ate many of these as a kid in Arizona there were apache Indians close to where I lived and they taught us kids what we could eat in the desert.

Gotta love a guy who's eating utensils are pliers, a pocket knife and a tailgate. He's a man among men!! You go bro!! I've done the same many, many a time! Respect!

I never had them off the plant like that but my sister lives in Texas and she made jelly out of them and that is DELICIOUS 😋

I love knowing that there are little things to eat out in the countryside. Beats starving! Even though it’s just a tiny bit, it’s all good!!!

They are a good fruit to eat. Even the newbe cactus stems are good to eat but have to be well cooked.

Used to eat those as kids. Pretty good.I have some in my yard here in Florida. Occasionally I eat one from these plants.

@@moreadventuresmadefromscratchThere are videos on KZfaq on how to make cactus smoothies. *Does your family ever grow cactus inside? It's a fun hobby of mine. The trick is putting them in a window with the most intense sunshine and don't over water them. My Mother (94⅘) has blooms several times a year. 👍 I enjoy all of your videos. It's nice to see someone on KZfaq who respects God.

I was gonna say those little spines are called glochids but see you already know that. If I remember correctly, Opuntia cacti grow wild in the 48 in every state but Maine. I've seen them farm them in southern California, they get pretty big.

@joserosales2333 8 ай бұрын

I remember when I was 10yrs. old my dad Would take me and my brothers hunting for them. But my dad would call them "tunas". Some were as big as figs and they were delicious. Good memories.

Old gloves and lots of duct tape on them and I pick them by hand. Of course, ours are much bigger. We use a propane torch to burn the spines off and a razor blade (or sharp knife) to slice them open. Haven't done it for years but like you said, it's a lot of work.

My brother loves to eat those prickly pear cactus, he has them growing at his North Carolina home in the mountains, but he even use to grow them in NYC & pick wild ones as well in NY/NJ ,Texas & Mexico, he is a native plant specialist & knows what cactus, mushrooms, fungi ,berries , plants & roots to eat

I think those were Kites flying around. I can't tell how big they are. I always see Mississippi Kites around this time of year. The wings underneath are white with black or dark grey towards the tip of the wing.

I have lived in Southern Calif since 1950. In the 1950's, we lived near a huge prickly pear cactus patch. The "apples" were much larger and redder. I preferred to eat the young pads that had immature soft needles that could be easily scraped off. Was good with a little salt.

I enjoy your C&C videos, I bet a lot aren’t willing or knowledgeable to pick some “wild” and just eat it. You should see the people when I pick berries from old homestead tracts long forgotten. Now just walking or biking paths! That’s ok more for me.
