Thanks for showing us plants when they're not flowering/fruiting! Now if we see them in the Winter months we can take note of the location and come back in the Spring and Summer to harvest their edible parts! Downloading your ebook now!

To turn prickly pear juice into wine it has to be in an air tight distiller with added sugar and wine yeast

I live in Central Texas in the Fort Worth Area. Mesquite trees grow wild here everywhere! The pods taste sweet. I got plans for them this year! If YAH wills! 😊

Midland here. Have fields of mesquite. Love chewing on the pods.

Cochineal bugs are used today for food coloring, they are grown on prickly pear cacti farms, their dye is known as carmine, also produced by some other similar bugs. "Today, carmine is primarily used as a colorant in food and in lipstick (E120 or Natural Red 4)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal

Thanks for the video, I live in Arizona . I’m going out to live in the desert now

Love this! Your videos have been my favorite for foraging AZ so far. I love the historical facts you add in.

Downloaded the ebook and it is very informative and well written. Would love to see more desert edible plants and how to use 👍🏻

Beautiful explanation much love and gratitude 😘

Thank you for making these videos . They can truly be a life saver for all that watch

Thank you for this reminds me so much of my familias rancho in Zacatecas

Thank you so much for such a great video. Can't wait to see your future videos!

Excellent video! Thank you for the details and knowledge. We're planning on planting Palo Verde trees for low water landscaping. We already have several cactus varities for tunas.

Excellent Video! Thank you

This is a great video! I’ve lived here in Tucson my whole life and am barely getting into this. So exiting thanks again😌🙏🏽

Really informative video. Thank you

Great advice thank you for the education!

Fantastic, thank you!

This is so interesting, thank you!

Wonderful

Great information, I had no idea you could eat the fruit of barrel cactus or saguaro

This is awesome

Informative!

I grew up in the desert and taught my sons about these plants. Lived in Mesa for a time and would forage the “weeds” in our yard. Purslane, Shepard purse, dandelion, neighborhood thought I was either weird or cool. 😄 Yard police would complain, so I pulled instead of poison.

You missed a few that are common that I’ve used, but overall good content.

A torch is the best way to remove glochids from prickly pear fruit (tuna). Spread them out on a grill, hit one side with the torch, turn them over, and get the other side.

Have you heard of making a coffee type drink with the barrel cactus seeds?

how much is your ebook? cool video very informative

I found a few bottles of cactus syrup that i did not know i had tasty

The tunas of the nopal cactus can be eaten just like that, scrape off the prickers, it has a skin you cut both sides and peel the skin off, you swallow the seeds whole and all. The fruit is delicious you just have to learn how to eat them. Don't spit the seeds out.

I don't see the free book link. Please share

Could you do time stamps please?

Cactus have spines (modified leaves) as opposed to thorns (modified branches)

I find wolf berry to be rather interesting, they are a little sweet, sour and bitter as well, I rather like the flavor.

Where do you get this book

Just so you know the "Barrel Cactus" you identity is not a F. Wislizenii. That is a Ferocactus Cylindraceus. F. Wislizenii do not have red spines at that maturity & they don't have as dense of spines either.

Thank you for the correction, I've actually tried to separate the barrels without much luck. This comment helps

NOT every may! This year I only see one saguaro flower out of hundreds here in South Phoenix, and it didn't become a fruit....

uhh thank you.

To many steps to get the ebook. Should be a simple email request and download.

This "barrel cactus" is a Ferocactus cylindraceus. Not a F. Wislizenii.

I have some suggestions for masqi pad. We can make various recipe. You don't dry it, you scok in water, after that you take sugar, add but if water, add masqi pod stir fry in sugar syrup. It must be covered with sugar. Let it dry. We will get very nice masqi candy. It will be sweet and sour. Second is make pickle using fermentation method. You add salt and water. Using fermentation processes, bitterness of masqi will disappear. You can make sugar candy or you eat fermented as pickle. You don't need any spices for this. Anything bitter can be made sour and sweet by fermentation. You can make small business out of it. You can also make pickle of red pepper using fermentation method. Jay shree ram.

Im gonna look for em in gta5 thx

Consider leftcutter ant-farms planted with whole dragonfruits directly into the ground for a better ecosystem.

As a Sonoran living in the Mexican side of the border it came to my attention you didn't mention Pitaya or Pitahaya which is the fruit of the Stenocereus Thurberi catcus ( not to be mistaken with Hylocereus cactus fruit or dragon fruit which is native to southern Mexico and central america and it is sometimes called also pitaya) Isn't this Pitahaya (Stenocereus Thurberi) available in Arizona whereas it is abundat and delicious in the south part of the same desert?. This fruit is by far the most sweet and delicious you can find in the desert during the monsoon season

Great question, Pitaya does grow in Arizona but only in the far south. It's common in the Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument on the Mexican border, and it grows in the Tohono O'odham Native Reservation where most people cannot access it. Frost limits its range in the north, so relatively few Arizonans have access to it. It's absent from the areas surrounding Phoenix for example, and I've never seen it in the Tucson area either, at least not in the wild.
