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! 😊

@bilithic7421 28 дней назад

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

@Somewhere-In-AZ 2 месяца назад

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

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.

@lucabraci5394 Год назад

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

@melissacarson9047 Год назад

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

@heartsnroses78 4 месяца назад

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

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

@delaneer Год назад

Could you do time stamps please?

@izunauchiha1202 7 месяцев назад

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.

@LegacyWildernessAcademy 7 месяцев назад

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

@kates5528 Год назад

uhh thank you.

@foxmulder7616 Год назад

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....

@johnsavage7507 10 месяцев назад

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

@izunauchiha1202 7 месяцев назад

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

@sunitadwarka347 11 месяцев назад

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.

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

@romaniker 7 месяцев назад

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

@LegacyWildernessAcademy 7 месяцев назад

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.
