I’ve been eating cactus my whole life and it wasn’t until I was older that I realized it was strange to other people. I love it grilled, in eggs, in pico de gallo, and in so many other dishes. If you get past the slimy part, it really is an amazing thing to try and is very important in Mexican food. If ever given the opportunity, try it!

Right, it's fire and the prickly pear.

[@jesuzo23]

@@cestlavie6063 it’s a little citrusy, almost a little acidic. The flavor is good, for me what gets me it’s the slimy texture. But depending on the preparation that texture sometimes is not present, I have had it raw in salads as well.

[@mocaqueche1]

This plant is wonderful! I was diagnosed with stomach ulcers and find out that side effects from medicine I was taken were worse and will affect my heart. Getting out of the hospital one day, I remembered my grandma told me once that nopal will refresh my stomach, so I went to a mexican place where they make fresh juice and ask for nopal and water shake. The attendant keeps on asking me " are you sure, that's all you want?" I was still filling sick and nauseated. After taking like half of the drink I felt great. I started making this drink at home every week for 3 months and got cured. One day my coworker told me she was filling seak from her stomach and I advised to drink cactus, she was Caucasian and did not what kind of cactus to buy and I show her on a website, that day I kept on reading more about cactus and find out that by eating it or on a drink raw will neutralize the stomach acidity and that is why I was feeling so good after drinking it. I try this drink with a person that had a bad hangover and it work. I am not lying this happened to me and I have been able to help a lot of my closed friends just with cactus drink.

I love eating nopales!! 1)Try it raw with a little bit of lime juice and salt (it’s amazing) even better when the nopal is cold. 2)when doing a barbecue take advantage and sprinkle some salt on it and grill it on both sides until it turns a grayish green color. 3) cactus salad is great for barbecues as well. Chop about 5 raw nopales into small squares and boil with half an onion and a small bunch of cilantro, add salt to taste. Once cooked drain and rinse a little. Chop the other half of the raw onion, about 3 small tomatoes, a bunch of cilantro, squeeze half of a lime and add salt to taste. Enjoy (please make sure it’s a clean nopal, no spikes)

I don't comment much but I just wanted to leave this here and say thank you to the team at BEFRS for dedicating so much of their time and lives to creating this content. I hope you've enjoyed making these videos as much as I've liked watching them!

Nice, I was looking for a hardy large producing and healthy plant to grow and eat. These grow wild in my region too, and I know of the fruit being edible but did not know about using the young tender pads of the cactus. Now that I see all the things you could make with it, I'm sold on growing a few. Thanks!

Now you need to do a video about trying different tequilas 😜🧡

I have many memories of nopales, ever since I was child I can remember my grandma and mom taking the spines off with a knife and no gloves. They are pros. Happy Somnny gets to experience it finally. It’s actually very common in the US as well. Especially nopales salad or boiled/sautéed. It’s very healthy and good for you. I think it’s so funny when my childhood foods become a trendy. Avocados, nopales, tacos, squash blossoms, tamales, pozole, and more. You’ll never get tired of trying New Mexican foods, especially the older people or outside of major cities you’ll find lots of secrets and ancient foods. Can’t wait till the next video!

[@lovinlolaaa8256]

Nopales with some salt on the grill is the best!! 🥰

This episode was simply amazing, I love this series cause I’m from New Mexico and really thought Mexico was just cartel stuff but this is helping me understand the scope of Mexicos beauty

y no me nieges que en tu pais no se vende droga o que te crees primer mundista para denigrar a los demas por no ser ricos . que la gente deje de consumir drogas en el mundo para que en mexico ya no mueran mas las personas por el cartel . Pero si tienes miedo no vengas a mi pais a denigrar con tu mente retrograda .

It's ok, here in Mexico we believe the US is all about school shootings and Nazis/cops killing people of colour.

[@_BURRBANK777]

Anyone else put nopales into their pico de gallo?😋

[@kennethdegooyer7229]

Excellent video. I´ve really gotten into nopales. The cactus that grows wild in Southern CA works for both the fruits and the pads !!

[@XLchilli]

I love green foods. This video just makes me wanna try Cactus so badly 🤤

My family is from DURANGO and my hubby is from MICHOACAN. I was born and raised here in chicago & California. We were raised eating Nopales. Here is a few ideas Nopales con huevo( scramble eggs) Nopales con chili de guajillo Nopales con carne Salad with Nopales Quesadilla con nopales Nopales con pineapple agua Nopales con aloe vera y garlic drink So many ways to combine Nopales with..🙂

[@patoteto2]

For my fellow Americans looking at this episode and remember that they sell the cactus in cans at the Mexican section in the supermarkets. Please don’t buy those. They just don’t taste the same. If you go to stores like save-way or sack n save, they sell fresh cactus. They’re so easy to cook you should just buy raw nopal

[@zamiaramirez1390]

Most Mexican stores carry fresh cactus as well.

[@hjdadz497]

I really like your videos. Even if I haven't taste the food in your videos I can still feel how it taste because of the way you describing it and the ingredients as well. I'm hoping more videos from your youtube channel so that I can discover new exotic foods that I haven't heard before. Thanks to you sir.

[@cenns6224]

Nopal is amazing! And Chef Juan! So happy to see him in here, he's an amazing chef!

I cook it and eat it. So many different recipes. My mom taught me how to pick, clean and cook it. Brings back memories.

[@unstoppabledoris]

Nopales are BOMB. THEY ARE GREAT WHEN GRILLED

[@jessicafuentesbinney]

It's sold in the states. Typically Hispanic stores but all versions are called "Nopales". Usually only farmers specify by type. Some big brand stores carry it as well but typically only the stores in high Hispanic neighborhoods

[@sophoursasmr1099]

Yes you are right

[@cachifli870]

Mexican places then just Hispanic we the only ones who eat it definitely don't see Ricans or Cubans eating it

[@cachifli870]

@Jinx Vanderz then that's cuz of us nopales only grew in Mexico and south west US

[@brianachong5390]

This is not Hispanic. It’s indigenous American origin and pre Hispanic. Hence why they mentioned the Aztec tribe. Hispanic is literally the Latin language for Spain not the native Americans they colonized such as those like you an indigenous Americans weather you or others like you acknowledged it or not. Both Hispanic & Latin/Latino culture come from Europe that is Latin Europe. & Latin Europe was Latinized by Italy hence how Latina Italy got the historical Latin name LATINA! LATINO= SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATIN MEDITERRANEAN DIASPORA . Hispanic is the name the TRUE Latino people of Rome/Italy gave the Spaniards. People from south central America and Mexico are historically native Americans & now some Mestizos whom where just forced to learn Hispanic ways just like people in North America who where forced to learn English ways and it ends there. Being culturally UNROOTED due to brainwashed acculturation is why so many North Americans don’t know their own identity Nor even care.TRUE Latin people need representation in North America as we are misrepresented all day long in this country and it’s not ok. Culturally rooted proud People native to south Central America and Mexico who embrace their true identity feel the same way with FALSE brands like Hispanic and Latino as that is Not their origin it is the origin of their colonizers. LATINOS are SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATINS born anywhere in the world who’s roots come from the LATIN Roman Empire of the Mediterranean Race. HENCE HOW LATINA ITALY GOT THE HISTORICAL LATIN NAME LATINA! Supporting North American Brainwashed cultural theft for “gain” and “benefit” does Not magically change this. CULTURALLY REMOVED North Americans need to learn and respect their true culture that way they can stop stealing from mine. & TRUE LATINO MEN AND WOMEN AKA SOUTHERN EUROPEANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MULTI RACIAL ETHNIC PEOPLE DUE TO OUR MIDDLE EASTERN, NORTH AFRICAN& BALKAN GYPSIE DNA. THIS CULTURAL RAPE EXIST BECAUSE THOSE LIKE YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE& WILL CONTINUE TO “BENEFIT” FROM THE CULTURAL THEFT TOWARDS US TRUE LATINO MEDITERRANEANS! THIS BRAINWASHED OBSESSION WITH PUSHING AMERICAN MOSTLY NORTH AMERICAN CULTURAL THEFT TOWARDS US TRUE LATIN PEOPLE AS A FASHION TREND NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED. ITS EXHAUSTING AND DISGUSTING

Nopales are my favorite. Naple tacos with beans, Pico de Gallo and queso fresco. 😋

It's nice to look at different world foods 😋 it makes me want to try it 🤗 It all looks absolutely amazing and refreshing 👌🕊💕🙏

[@damocsell]

On a 3 day wilderness survival weekend we lived mostly on Nopal (prickly pear) the fruit was great the pads were tolerable cooked but raw the slimeyness turned us off. We also used the cactus pads on occasion for water emergency.

[@Slungussbunguss]

My grandma would always cook me nopales con puerco y arroz like once a week growing up. So good…. I miss it all the time.

[@r3drift]

Americans from USA that cover food across the world never cover nopal aka cactus from Mexico. It’s so rare that we see cactus in USA even in Mexican restaurants but it’s huge part of authentic Mexican cuisine. Especially outside urban areas. It’s popularity even with urban dwellers and higher income brackets was covered very well on this video. My parents love it. I never got into it. Tuna the fruit of the cactus is one of my favorite things ever and so underrated. Delicious.

[@JboBakey]

I see it in Texas constantly. Maybe not in all areas but it's there

[@hewster9874]

Interesante. Aqui en Puerto Rico le llamamos Tuna a ese tipo de cactus. A la fruta hay gente que le llaman: el higo de la tuna (y claro,nada que ver con el higo que rellena las galletas, fig newton :D )

[@Kelbie.Sturgis]

Its rare to see Nopal? Depends on the area. If your in a desert it's common.

[@Demuzo]

Video is great. Good thing about Nopales is... they basically grow everywhere, so there is food always. 4:57 "Hace cuatro años"... and he goes "Three years ago..." Found it funny xD
