Nopal de Caballo (Opuntia stricta)Observ.
salcianoDescripción
Tasted bittersweet.
Stripped off the tiny prickles from the reddish fruiting body carefully, using stones I found nearby, instead of fingers.
Afterwards, I washed it thoroughly…
Did not eat the seeds.
Do not get the prickles on your skin or clothes, because they are persistent. The prickles break easily, leaving the point still stuck.
Do not hold it close to your face to prevent inhaling them.
Do not scratch your face or eyes after handling.
Avoid handling with wind blowing towards your direction, as the prickles might drift to you.
