Opuntia is a type of cactus that is grown for its edible fruits and seeds. The fruits, also known as prickly pears, are juicy and sweet, and are often used to make sauces, jams, and jellies. The seeds are also edible, and are used to make a type of flour called pinole.
The cactus is native to the Americas, and is found in Mexico, the United States, and Central and South America. It is a hardy plant that is able to survive in dry, hot climates, and is often used as a decorative plant in gardens.
The fruits of the cactus are oval-shaped and have a thick, green skin. Inside the skin is a sweet, juicy flesh that is filled with small seeds. The fruits can be eaten raw, or they can be cooked and used to make jams and jellies.
The seeds of the cactus are also edible, and are often ground into a flour called pinole. This flour is used to make a variety of dishes, such as tortillas, tamales, and other Mexican dishes.
Opuntia is an excellent source of nutrition, and is high in fiber and vitamins A and C. It is a good source of minerals, including calcium, iron, and potassium. The fruits and seeds are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
