cactus is a very good rootstock, and its wound healing ability is very strong, drought-resistant and high temperature-resistant. It can grow vigorously even if it is not watered for a month, so there is no need to worry about its death. However, it has a disadvantage that it is covered with thorns, whether it is cactus or cactus, which is annoying. It is said that it is understandable to grow thorns on the body to protect itself from being eaten by other predators.
The cactus grows most vigorously in the world, and the country with the largest number is "Mexico". When it comes to Mexico, I think of chicken rolls. Many people say that Mexican chickens rarely drink water, and the chicken is very compact and delicious when rolled up. We have never eaten it. Besides chicken rolls, there are cacti everywhere, which are taller than people. Mexico is also the hometown of cacti. It is said that there are the most kinds of cacti in Mexico, and local people eat them.
There are many countries with the same climate as Mexico, but this country has the largest number of cacti. No one can explain this problem, which may be the reason for the low rainfall in this country. Because the growth rate of cacti is really amazing, local people began to develop the idea of eating cacti, and it has been a hundred years since then. Mexicans have developed various delicacies about cacti to attract tourists from all over the world. Even cactus has become an important local industry.
If you are lucky enough to visit Mexico, don't be surprised to see the cactus planted in the local greenhouse. Just like our local vegetables, it has become industrialized and large-scale. Cactus is the same as the food we eat in our daily life.
Many markets nearby specialize in selling cactus. Some people will remove the prickles of cactus and sell them in stalls. The extracted prickles will be ground into powder, which will be mixed into camel feed and fed to camels. It's not wasted at all. It's a good feed for camels to grind cactus thorns into powder.
In China, for example, "egg-filled cake" and "burrito", a piece of cake can be used directly with shredded potatoes and lettuce. There is also such a delicacy in Mexico, where local residents wrap the processed cactus in a flour cake, add seasoning and eat it. Processed cactus is also delicious with the unique barbecue in Mexico.
Chinese people like to put a lot of vegetables and fruits directly in clean water and cook them, such as peanuts, pumpkins and corn. Of course, they are also indispensable in Mexico. Local residents will pluck the cactus and cook it in a pot. Every household eats it.
In summer, fruits, such as apples, grapes and peaches, are sold in the streets of China. The most common fruit in Mexico is cactus, which some people may not know. In fact, cactus can bear fruit, and it is very delicious. Its nutrition is much higher than that of domestic fruits. The local light is abundant and the sweetness of various fruits is also very sweet.
There is also the juice squeezed from cactus fruit, which is all over the streets. In China, there are all kinds of milk tea and drinks. On the streets of Mexico, cactus fruit is freshly squeezed, and local children like it very much.
One side raises the other side. Because of their different habits and living environment, they regard local plants as a part of their lives. In fact, this is a cultural inheritance. Next time we talk about Mexican chicken rolls, don't forget that there are delicious cacti in Mexico.
