Can cactus be eaten? Are cactus thorns poisonous?
Cactus can be eaten. Now in Mexico, the fruit of cactus is a mainstream fruit, and the prickles of cactus are not poisonous, but we should also pay attention to it when eating, because the prickles are particularly sharp, and it would be bad if you accidentally cut your throat. Therefore, children should never eat the fruits of cactus alone to prevent some accidents.

Most of the fruits of cactus are actually some fleshy berries, and a few are dried fruits. In addition, the shapes of cactus fruits are also different. Some cactus fruits are round, some cactus fruits are diamond-shaped, and some cactus fruits are stick-shaped. However, most cactus fruits will have some fruit thorns on the peel. Although these fruit thorns are particularly small, they are particularly sharp. When they are stuck on our skin, they will feel particularly painful and have some burning sensation. Pay attention to them when eating cactus fruits. Don't eat these fruit thorns.

In fact, there are many kinds of cactus. For example, white cactus, golden purple cactus and sour cactus are common in Mexico. The fruit of each cactus is basically different after peeling. After peeling, the fruit of white cactus is white. This kind of fruit doesn't look particularly beautiful, but its taste is quite good. However, after the skin of the cactus is peeled off, most of the fruits are golden or purple, and the whole fruit gives people the feeling of being crystal clear, especially selling, so this type of cactus fruit is the most common in the Mexican fruit market.

Although the cactus fruit is edible, there are many precautions when we eat cactus fruit. First of all, we should pay attention to the fruit thorns. Secondly, if your spleen and stomach are not particularly good, then I personally don't recommend eating cactus fruit, because this kind of cactus fruit is difficult to digest and will cause a greater burden on the spleen and stomach.
