Cactus is a Latin word that means a spiny plant. It is called #nagfani in Hindi, #Nagfana in Bengali & Marathi, #Nagamalli in Telugu, and #Chaptukalli in Tamil. Though eating cactus is very popular in #Mexico but in India, we have been using the cactus plant & fruit for various treatments. Also, many farmers in India grow them around their fields to naturally protect the crops.
Cooking cactus is like cooking Bhindi, quite easy & surprisingly very tasty. All you need to know is how to cut a cactus.
A lot of varieties of cactus that grow are quite beneficial for us in many ways. I am cooking a variety of #Cactus called #Nopal or #Nopales which has a pad-like shape. The same variety also bears a fruit called #PricklyPear which comes with a lot of health benefits.
Both the Nopal Cactus & its fruit (prickly pear) are riddled with lots of thorns but carefully removing them gives us a cactus we can eat.
Cactus is long known for its many health benefits like high on antioxidants, regulates blood sugar, reduces cholesterol, eliminates hangovers & high on vitamins, minerals & fiber. Eating cactus fruit – Prickly Pear prevents peelia i.e. jaundice.
It is specifically high in calcium, potassium, vitamin A, C & B, Iron & Magnesium.
Currently, there are no know cactus species that are poisonous but getting stung by a cactus thorn/spike causes irritation, pain and ay lead to bacterial infections.
