Nopales. Prickly pear cactus is not just a cactus that grows in the desert, it’s actual food.
Nopales are the ones that have almost no thorns or little ones. Actually one of my friends has some with no thorns (just grew like that). They can be used for smoothies and grilling. Nopales tacos are amazing.
That’s just the Pedals, fruit is another amazingly yummy story.
Here I was gifted the pedals so i made a smoothie (pedal, raw agave and ice). Surprisingly hydrating and filling. No wonder bunnies love these..
I have had an amazing time growing, playing, and learning about my surroundings this summer.
The “string bean” in the photo is actually desert edamame. That’s just what we call it. It’s delicious and taste just like edamame, so I am growing the plant that was gifted to me by a friend - Best things in life are free. LOL.
