Good afternoon, Steemians!

I wanted to show a snack I just ate that’s incredibly easy to grow. This is the nopal or prickly pear cactus pad leaf.

I used the “broil” setting on my electric stove

Added a bit of sweet basil pasta sauce

The nopal is by far the easiest thing that I grow on my homestead. You just break off a pad, dig a hole, put it in horizontally and water it a few times a month until you start to see new pads coming out of the ground. It can handle the colder temperatures here in FL and also drought. I personally have about 5-6 cactus plants growing in my yard, on with over 50 pads. It’s basically free and very nutritious food!
