We all know that cacti are usually used for viewing and growing in deserts, but in this country, cacti have a very high status. The national flag pattern of this country contains "cactus elements", which shows that people in this country attach great importance to cactus. They believe that wherever cacti exist, they can survive. In addition to the national flag, cactus can be found on local emblems and coins. There are more than 500 species of cacti in Mexico, 40% of which cannot be found elsewhere, and the annual output can exceed 300,000 tons. Both the output and the scale of planting are unmatched by other plants, so this country is often called the "Land of Cactus". Most Mexicans are vegetarians, which is why the local cactus has a good destination and becomes the most common food on the dinner table.

Everyone knows that cactus is unsightly and full of thorns, but in fact, cactus is rich in nutrients, has tender and juicy meat, and its fruits are edible. Local people eat it as fruit. In China, the fruit of the cactus is ugly, but it can be seen everywhere locally and looks a bit like dragon fruit. With so many vegetables on the market, why do people in this country like cacti? This is mainly because the country has heavy rainfall and a large desert area, which is not suitable for the growth of other crops.

In fact, there are too many cacti. Under the temptation of delicious food, people in this country uniquely make cacti into delicious food. Of course many people want to know how to eat so many thorns. Don't poke your mouth. This worry is unnecessary. Before eating, all surface spines should be cut off before seasoning. There are three main cooking methods commonly used locally. The first is to boil it directly in water and then add dipping sauce. The second method is to stir-fry, cut into pieces or slices, and then stir-fry in a pot.

A final method is to combine them with cold, roasted cactus and then mix in the juice. If you were to say a local favorite, it would have to be the cactus omelette and cactus salad. What I will say about eating cacti is that these fruits are sweet and sour and rich in nutrients.
