There are more than 2,000 kinds of cacti in the world, only 2 of which are edible.

Many people say that cactus has antiseptic and sterilizing effects, so they keep several pots at home. When family members have stomachaches and other symptoms, they pick some and use them as medicine.

Medical experts have clearly pointed out that these cacti contain toxins. Instead of curing diseases, they may make them worse and must not be eaten casually.

Edible cactus is a new health-care vegetable introduced to my country in recent years. The current varieties are mainly the "Mibonta" edible cactus introduced from Mexico. A new variety of cactus that is mainly edible and has multiple uses.

After more than two years of introduction, demonstration, promotion and application and analysis and verification by nutrition experts from the Quality Agricultural Products Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ningde area, it is a new health vegetable variety suitable for planting and promotion in my country.

At the same time, it is also valuable in medicinal, ornamental, fruit, beauty, and environmental protection.
