The Eastern Prickly Pear fruit and pads are a very tasty treat, but did you know that this Cacti is used and studied for lowering the blood sugar levels in people with diabetes 2, help with a hangover. Other possible future uses may be with lowering cholesterol, helping with symptoms from an enlarged prostate, obesity, colitis, & diarrhea, This fruit has anti-inflammatory properties, contains substantial amounts of ascorbic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, fibers, amino acids, & antioxidant compounds.
Its odd to think that in Australia the Crown had a reward for anyone that had a method of destroying the cacti and now it may be the newest superfood. I placed some links below to read about this, as well as the health benefits of the prickly pear cacti,
Let me show you how to harvest, and propagate the pads and later this week Taylor and Stefan will show you how to prepare the fruit to eat.
Have a wonderful New Years!
