| Description | Jean said to determine the ripeness of the barrel cactus fruit, hold the fruit by the head and shake slightly. It's ripe enough when you can wiggle it like a loose tooth. The fruit "can be picked and eaten raw right off the plant; both the flesh and the seeds inside can be eaten raw or cooked. The flesh is slightly mucilaginous (slimy like okra). The taste is tart; somewhere between lemon and kiwi fruit. The seeds may be separated and ground to a mush. If you pick a fruit that has been on the cactus for sometime, check for insects unless you don’t mind the extra protein. The flower buds can be eaten also. The buds were often boiled and used like cabbage by native tribes." tucsoncitizen.com/wryheat/2009/08/01/edible-desert-plants... |
