Fresh nopales need to soacked first to get rid of the slime as well as you can boil them first and then soack. Also as long as you shave off the thorns, you can eat the skin! You can also buy them already in a jar, or fresh at the store.
Yeah, @@growithjessie try getting a jar of them from the store to see what they're like processed. Are you a vegetarian? (You've never mentioned it.) If not, I recommend that you look for a recipe for nopalitos con puerco (nopales with pork), which is kind-of a stew type dish, like almost-but-not-quite chili. It's a family tradition from my grandmother. We usually eat it with tortillas. (I don't have the recipe; Sorry.) I can also easily imagine grilling up some nopales with scrambled eggs or in a chilaquiles omelet. After you try the jarred product you can decide if you want to learn how to process them. (This is something I need to learn, as well. I want to grow nopales cactuses, too.)
I would also suggest you get more tender nopales from the top of the plant, those are easier to eat and you only need to take off the thorns. No hard exterior to worry about.
So, from the Rio Grande Valley, here. Normally, we like using young cactus. The cactus which is thick, and hardy, is not exactly great for eating. You want the young ones, which haven't gotten their thorns yet. Consider the thorns as a sign or warning that you missed your chance. The young pads, are easier to grab, and put on a grill, after having removed the premature "thorns". The flavor is way better, and go great with just about any thing, like eggs, or picadillo. Some tortillas de maiz with nopal on the grill is a great meal, and very healthy! Hope you look into it, and enjoy!
We’re on the same path now … but, it’s pitaya (a similar cactus) instead of pitahya (your dragon fruit) … the babies are awesome! Down here your prickly pear cactus fruit is called ‘tuna’ … jijijiji … not fishy at all … and the nopales are amazing delicious … there are ways to avoid the sliminess when cooking.
I grew some, & after 3 long yrs, a freeze was just too much & it died!😭 but since then, I have started another, & it's doing great! Good luck with yours!😊😊
My Nonna used to have this massive prickly pear tree in her backyard, older than me. When I was about 19 we were at my nonna's 80th and one of my little cousins playing in the back decided to dive bomb into it. I spent the next 3 hours with a squirmy 6-7 year old, tweezers, and a watchmakers eye piece pulling needles out
I have been growing dragon fruits from seeds for approcimately 8 years and they still didn't flower or fruit, although the plants are pretty big now. Last year I managed to get cuttings from a mature plant and I read that this method takes 1-2 years for the plant to produce flowers and fruits.
@@growithjessie sorry for answering so late, I must have missed your comment. I live in Poland, around Warsaw. When it comes to my dragon fruits, it is possible that they didn't bloom because during the first 7 years I did grow them in a really poor soil, like my terrestial cacti but now I now epiphytic cacti require more nutrients. And by the way, great channel!

Hi,there i came across your video..one quick tip-im Mexican and i love cactus..but those big cactus you got are too old to eat.You actually eat the fresh green(i hope you understand me)like the baby ones.So you only cut the thorns out and cut them in squares or thin pieces. To cook them you DON’T have to soak them in water,just put les than a spoon of oil put cactus let the slime go away and add tomatoes,onion,jalapeños if you want..a sprinkle of oregano salt and eat then in tacos..Hope my tip helps..but Don’t soak pleaseeee! Also you can cook them with eggs too…or make a cactus salad.
The duration between watering is different to the amount of water you give. You need to water them more (in quantity) but leave them longer between watering.
@growithjessie I would try to fill up mason jar half full with warm water and shake it real hard with the piece of dragon fruit loaded with seeds in it to see if that would extract them....
My grandma has Nopales in her garden, we only cook the "tiernitos" (young ones?), before they get tooo big so the one that you cooked looks like something we would plant to grow, not cook. We remove the thorns only, not all of the skin, and theres cooking methods for it to not be as slimey, but I think other comments have that covered.
What I found out was, if the Dragon Fruit is picked too early there will be no taste. And that's why they dont have any taste because they are picked early to ship all around before they can rot. If they wait till they were tasty they would be rotten by the time we got them.
well... as a Canadian that has been growing dragonfruit seedlings for over a year now and they're only like 8 inches, I feel much better 😅 Mine are very spindly- still alive but very small. Just about to cut into a new dragon fruit- maybe I'll try again and supplement grow light with the sun year round and see if it does better... 🤔
To me they don't taste like nothing, just sweet. As someone who works in a supermarket and tries almost everything we sell in my department, the yellow dragon fruit seeds are bigger
In Mexico we cut off the younger nopales growing on the tops of the big ones and you either boil first of you can grill them too and you always gotta add a lil salt too
Loved your Dragon fruit journey mine just started got 3 variety just waiting for them to grow and produce new branch coz they got broken & damaged by the time I got them so had to do some surgery on them 😅 will repot them in there home pot once they grow here it's just harsh warm weather just the opposite of u harsh canada cold weather.
Hi, what did you feed them? I have a couple dozen that are 10 months old. They are over 12" tall, but veey skinny. But, they are starting to grow side growths. Just concerned thwy have weak trunks and wont fatten up to support the rest of the plant
Would you have any idea way my little sprouts of dragon fruit aren’t turning into cactus? I planted my sprouts well over three months ago, and they’ve stayed alive and look healthy, but they don’t want to turn into little dragon fruit cacti 😞
Hii, I love your videos! Have you tried growing a Touch Me Not plant? Also known as shameplant. The leaves of the plant close whenever touched and reopen after a few minutes.
Typically it's the tender nopales that are cooked in eaten. The bigger ones are tougher and harder to cook. You can buy them canned or find a Mexican restaurant that serves them. They are good when made properly.
May I suggest, if you can ever find one, getting the red-fleshed variety of Dragonfruit & trying to grow those. The fruit from that variety is pretty tasty & sweet, in my experience. Also, that "I love you" at the end had me rolling! 🤣😂 Greetings from a fellow Canuckistani! LOL
Here’s me only able to grow Napa cabbage cause my mizuna was killed by caterpillars, cabbage butterflies really enjoy laying eggs on mizuna leaves by the way, didn’t even touch the Napa cabbage
The colour of the dragon fruit doesn't matter it's more like from the family tree of the dragon fruit because my uncle grows white dragon fruits and they are soo sweet
If you have a squirrel problem, purchase some plastic snakes (the kind that are snake sized), and put them around (and in) you plants. I shxt you not, the squirrels have stayed away from my plants because they thing the snakes are real.
You’re being in Canada/growing indoors means you’re always gonna run into issues with the long leggy growth because they simply aren’t getting enough light. It’s called etiolation.
You're supposed to eat the young tender nopale pads, not the old woody fibrous ones. Also, store bought dragon fruit sucks, they're all bland. Also the yellow Palora dragon fruit are the slowest to grow, even down here in San Diego, California. You may want to start off with a sugar dragon variety that is self pollinating and is very tasty.
i dont really put my cactus in direct sun i put them in shade the dragonfruit cacti i didnt water them for....3-6months and still not dying and at last,it got eaten my a rat?i guess?
Hi I love your vids keep the hard work up and I also have a place suggestion which is solso farm near Tokyo which has lot of cool and unique plants I recommend you check it out. ❤
What she’s showing here in this video are not the cactus (optunia) from which you harvest nopales from. What she hybridized seeds from is of the species Hylocereus… You know like the difference between Dogs and Cats …
The way you sprinkled thise seeds i wouldnt bw surprised if you tore up some sprouts. Is rhis just the same foorage different voice over. First ,it was 100, now its 1000, nit sure you even have 1 plant now
Pretty sure they were shriviling up because they need humidity, in my experience anyways. And it takes waaaay longer yhen a year to get a fruit from a seed grown dragon fruit. More like 5 years lol
I’m sorry, but you just wasted your time … your videos confusing … did you plant the seeds from that “White fruit” if so it’s a Hylocereus species of some sort … most likely Hylocereus undatus… which isn’t that great … maybe a brix rating of 12 … the brix scale goes from 0-32 … the higher the brix rating the sweeter it is … an 18 brix is a ripe strawberry … the other tunas photos that were growing on optunia pads is what the Mexicans call nopales … the fruit has huge seeds … … suggest you view the following: UA-cam …. Kim Phan Dragon Fruit …. Or … Spicy Exotics Dragon Fruit … You’ll get an idea how good tasting some dragon 🐉 fruit taste …
I love that you never gave up!! (also there are like a million varieties of dragonfruit and they all taste different way better than the ones that were picked unripe at the grocery store)
Dragon Fruit Cactus and Prickly Pear Cactus are not even remotely the same plant. You may want to fix your thumbnail and remove the first 5 to ten seconds of your video as well as others parts of the video where you talk about dragon fruit but are actually showing prickly pear in the video. SMH… 🤦♀️ 0:05, 7:16
Still no news about the pithecellobium dulce plant but actually if you don't know why your not finding it it's because it only comes from saudi arabia and now it's not the perfect time for it to grow so maybe next summer go to saudi arabia and look for the shops that sell fruits and vegetables and maybe you can find something else to grow

Maybe dragons prefer more chaos. Maybe all this orderliness is messing with their vibe. Just a suggestion
No its pithaya

it was in california! i’ve gotta double check
Wow I just started with your videos today. They are so interesting and your voice is amazing

Your cactuses are shrinking because they need water every 1 week
Fun fact: pitayaha cacti are from rainforests so they need and love lots $ lots of water

Yellow are my favorite but pink ones are also good. White dragons aren't very good.
If grown from seed they dont grow friut for 3-5 if grown from a cutting it bears fruit after 1 year of growing then after about 9 months u get fruit
better go get my hands on a cutting :P
You can eat cactus nopales or dragon branches , but only the tender new growth. Not the old stingy slimy hard part! 🙎🤦
I live in Philippines and growing dragon fruit here is so easy
I am so jealous! I need to visit
You can also propagate them 🥲
Instead of buying fruit over & over for this study (I mean, I buy it to eat), extract the seeds, dry them out & save them for future experiments.
love this idea!
you are so kookie - I love it :)

They come from a tree too
Typically you eat newly grown pads they are more tender. The older ones tend to be more fibrous.

For someone who has never been here before, and doesn't have any real particular interest in this topic, *I AM SO FRICKIN' INVESTED!* 😲😉❤️🔥

I love that you never gave up!! (also there are like a million varieties of dragonfruit and they all taste different way better than the ones that were picked unripe at the grocery store)

Definitely better home grown! Both nopales and Dragon fruit.
So basically she tried growing them a thousand times and never had success
U can pollinate ur dragon fruit yourself n some dragon fruit self-pollinate as well 🙏💞🙏
I love Plants just like I love Your videos

Dragon Fruit Cactus and Prickly Pear Cactus are not even remotely the same plant. You may want to fix your thumbnail and remove the first 5 to ten seconds of your video as well as others parts of the video where you talk about dragon fruit but are actually showing prickly pear in the video. SMH… 🤦♀️ 0:05, 7:16
Still no news about the pithecellobium dulce plant but actually if you don't know why your not finding it it's because it only comes from saudi arabia and now it's not the perfect time for it to grow so maybe next summer go to saudi arabia and look for the shops that sell fruits and vegetables and maybe you can find something else to grow
She has literally 15 different accents this is crazy
