Nopales: My favorite desert vegetable.

You can make scrabbled eggs with nopales. Pretty good. Goes great with crumbled queso fresco.

Nopales are so good! I have some in my backward and I eat them every day. They taste even better if you eat them when they were just cut off the tree. YUM!

On the nopal filling, I forgot to say that I also added the juice of one lemon and a little olive oil.

[alicephrontistery]

I just had a nopal burrito for breakfast.

1 or 2 young nopal leaves, de-needled & washed

2 small tomatoes or 1/2 red bell pepper

1/2 onion

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup of roasted, shelled pumpkin seeds

Dice all the vegetables; add spices to flavor; add pumkin seeds...DONE AND DELICIOUS!

Eat it as a salad or a stuffing for a pita, tortilla, etc.

It's more nutritious if uncooked but it may be cooked in water or broth; onion, tomato; salt and pepper.

My parents are Mexican and love nopales. I'm not a big fan of it though. My parents and aunts/uncles love it though.

I get that when i go to the mexican restaurants. They make a really good salad with it!

[porolita22]

Nice video! Very interesting... hehe.

I didn't know one could eat that! :-D I wanna try it.

[stupidstickman]

would they sell that in England?

[ianthevedge]

I didn't see it while I was there, grocery stores in England generally seemed pretty bare compared to those in other places I've been...

[stupidstickman]

Okay, I will just have to go to America and try one of those things, they look really good!

[ianthevedge]

Raw it tastes a little like a slimy cucumber.
