FORAGING IN TEXAS – PRICKLY PEAR

Great info! The first time I heard they were edible was at a summer camp when I was a kid. One of the other kids said that you could eat them, but they didn't mention the spines part. So I went over and picked one with my bare hands. It took a while for the nurse to pull all of those tiny spines out of my hands! So lesson learned to be really careful when handling them.

I hope that they did not omit the spines part on purpose! Tough lesson, but at least lesson learned!
