Ingredients:raw cactus, fresh from the garden
Yeah, I know that this sounds kinda odd, it did to me also, to eat the raw pads of the cactus plants. But there are some varieties that are actually really tasty when harvested young, tender and succulent. They have an interesting snap and crunch to them, much more than one would expect. Sliced into one inch strips they are an intriguing item on the dinner plate. These must be freshly harvested leaves for this, not canned.
For fresh eating I cannot more highly recommend Nopalea Grande Freshly picked organic cactus leaves.
