The prickly pear cactus Lorena planted early this spring is starting to bloom which means we will soon have the sweet fruits from the cactus called tunas. It is amazing that not only the fruit is edible on this plant, but also the broad, oval shaped nopalitos that are effective against type II diabetes. I think I have tried the tuna fruit before, but really do not remember what they were like so I am looking forward to trying them again. As for the nopal, I really like them when they are part of a bigger salad or salsa. I am looking forward to that, too.
