Hey Smokers! Try TUNA Water with

[@mogains]

Matthew my Dad would take 3 days off smoking herbs every 6 months and would drink it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. He'd set it for 24 hours before consuming it. The belief is that it cleans the kidney and lungs and when he start back smoking it was a different high. Great content as always these old time traditions and tricks are dying with the older generation. Glad to see you're still keeping these things alive and well.

It's called tuna because of the fruit that comes from the cactus. In Mexico we call that fruit Tuna which in English i think it's called prickly pear but we call the cactus nopal and both the cactus and the fruit are edibles 🙌🏼🇲🇽

In Mexico and California “Tuna” is the reddish apple that the Cactus produces. The cactus itself can be boiled / drained and served with eggs and many other dishes. It goes by the name of “Nopales” as the plant itself.

Prickly pear is the name in California

The flesh inside the fruit is the tuna. Not the fruit itself. Most cacti have tuna in the fruit.

Tip for eating Nopal (aka cactus aka tuna) get the nice ripe ones for eating if its too stiff its not ready(sort of like the aguacate or "pear") this spiny succulent is delicious when fried with garlic, onion,salt,pepper, tomatoes (PAMADOROOOO) and spicy peppers. Its great with pork or in a vegetarian recipe . it can also be prepare uncooked as a salsa with the previous ingredients and a nice amount of lime juice .

[@Country2town]

In Jamaica, we also use it for pain, particularly back pain. We split it in half, soak it overnight in coconut water, and then drink it. Some people also red water grass (I think that's the name) and drink it for pain.

This is prickly pear... many different varieties. We have them in New Mexico sometimes. Some at ankle height, others toward Texas are as large as SUVs. Grows in abundance like grass lol... The fruit ON TOP is what they call the TUNA. It grows a little yellow or red flower on top as well. They also call the entire cactus a tuna in South America. Argentina mainly. Its a great antioxidant source known to Native people throughout the Americas and Caribbean. Also, as Chucky said, its great for hair and skin. Keep up the good work Matthew we love you man.

Hey Matthew! We call the the round fruit on top of the cactus the "Tuna" and make water/juice out of that fruit . The actual cactus we call "NOPAL or NOPALES", and that's the part we actually cook with . The "TUNA" is eaten fresh. It's sort of a dragon fruit style . Bless up yall

I grow prickly pear & always pick wild cactus fruits. Prickly pear is a pretty big cactus variety. They're all edible. The kind in this video looks really good. I bet the fruit is delicious too. The cactus I have has to be eaten when the petals are young. It basically has a vein structure that gets really tough when it gets to mature. It also has a bunch of tiny hair like spines that really suck to get in your skin. Chucky's looks like it doesn't have either problem.

[@wamlartmuse2983]

You can still use the mature ones for sauces or salsas. So far I've had them grilled & put in soup/stew. Both really good.
