GREEN MACHINE Prickly Pear

EAT ME! …SUSTAINABLE NUTRITION. Glossy, deep dark green pads bear beautiful yellow/gold flowers, and few single spines emanating from mature pads. Interestingly, they produce delicious, edible young “tuna” pads that every “prepper” should have for a vital supply of nutrition planted in or near their space. Considered a “super food” nutrition-wise. See our “Tuna Cactus” video on YouTube :
