"The cactus John Dicus grows out at
Rivenrock Gardens are really surprising!
They have an incredible flavor—
a sweetness with citrus notes, fresh, crisp, green and alive!
It's a shame that we cooked 'em as John's cactus are excellent raw! "

Our premier variety, Nopalea Grande.

Grade A.. the prettiest leaves
of 'World-Class Gourmet' quality
The most 'perfect' ones we have...
packed more carefully than the rest.
Usually four to seven inches in size

Unavailable until May 2012

These ones are small and tender organic baby vegetable type.
More difficult to prepare due to the small size and tenderness.
We pack these with a layer of tissue between each layer of leaves
to protect them better.
They are the most prime leaves,
and packed the most carefully.
We have to search high and low through the cactus patch to find the best of the cactus for this grade
 

Two pounds shipped by USPS Priority Mail for $30
Four pounds for $36
Eight pounds for $62


USPS Priority Mail
shipping included in sales price

Grade B.. the nice
premium-quality leaves
Young tender, succulent...
good presentation, fit for gourmet chef use.
Usually five to eight inches in size.
As with Grade A, these are picked to be prime and pretty. But we don't do all the extreme packing we do with Grade A

gradeB051309_1.jpg (14799 bytes)

These ones are of a larger size than Grade A,
and easier to prepare,
But still young and tender
enough to eat raw.



Grade B
 
 

Two pounds shipped by USPS Priority Mail for $27
Four pounds for $31
Eight pounds for $52


USPS Priority Mail
shipping included in sales price

Unavailable until May 2012

Grade C.. older, more mature leaves
more prone to environmental damage.. perhaps more fibrous.
Still great for stews and other cooking, as well as eating raw in salads and salsa. This is the best cactus to use for all but the gourmand.
It is economical, with (generally) larger leaves easier to clean and prepare.
In the winter they may be smaller than in the summertime, usually until spring they wil be four to ten inches in size

Nopalea grande Grade C

Two pounds shipped by USPS Priority Mail for $24
Four pounds for $27
Eight pounds for $44

shipping included in sales price

Grade D.. The worse ones we have growing... we'd rather sell them cheap than compost them

These are sometimes used for animal feed or for straight-on cooking
But we sell them as food-grade edible cactus

The price on these is ultra-low

They can range in size from a few inches to a foot...
the main parameter in choosing these for Grade D is that they are not as nice as the other grades, and tend to be older and more scarred/bent/damaged
Being larger thicker leaves, these are more likely to weigh five pounds

We have had a few folks ask if we could send them some cactus every other month.....
Well, heck... 'The customer is always right'!
Grade D is best suited for this... it tends to last on the shelf longer....
(hint, use the thinner younger softer leaves first. The thicker heavier ones last the longest)
So we're offering this as a four pound box of Grade D cactus leaves,
shipped by USPS Priority Mail
$22, USPS Priority Mail shipping is included in the price.
