Opuntia / Prickly pear cacti is a new world species thus it only made its way to Europe after 1492 (when Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas). While cacti have become an invasive species in Australia & South Africa, its good to see that some countries have embraced it. Also, I live in Colorado and prickly pear cacti can grow at over 2000 m elevation in the rocky mountains!

@estebancorral5151
@estebancorral5151 3 года назад
You removed the entire peel of the prickly pair not just zest. You can save the peel and sun dry it. Eat it for later. Your method of thorn removal is water wasteful. Yet Scilily cries for lack of water. A dampened, soft-bristled brush would served the purpose. It is obvious by the improper pruning, that you fear your plants, and treat them like step-children. Also, you should keep bees.

Grazie from California where we have purple prickly pear fruits in our yard. We also have a fig tree, but never knew to use the leaves to remove the thorns. We either peel them, or use a flame to burn them off. I’m going to try your fig leaf method next summer. We like to eat them like you do, and sometimes we remove the seeds and put them in a blender for a fruit smoothie in the summer. Delicious! Again, mille grazi, amico.

Hi Charley, you're right! Actually in Sicily we only eat the fruits. But someone use to cook the leaves... In my life I have seen only 2 cases: in Mexico and in San Mauro Castelverde, a small Sicilian village in the Madonie area (province of Palermo near Cefalù) where people use to cook the leaves like cutlets. They make a sort of bitter and sour sauce. It's so funny!

Hi Red! These plants are about 35/38 years old. Actually the red/purple/violet prickly pears in Sicily are the sweetest ones. The Green ones have a middle taste, something like between the two latter. They are sweeter than the yellow/orange ones but not as sweet as the red/purple/violet ones. We had a very dry summertime and so the most of them are actually seedy.

@best-things-to-do-in-sicily 3 года назад
you're absolutely right. It is not native but it belongs to our culture. Perhaps because we had several centuries of Spanish domination and they transfered to us their experience during the time of South-American colonies. However we are pretty sure your candies are amazing! Thanks for your nice comment!

When do you prune the plants? Do fruits grow on newest or older pads? Thanks 🙏🏼
@best-things-to-do-in-sicily
@best-things-to-do-in-sicily 2 года назад
I never prune it. Only when the plant becomes too big and push the fence I reduce it. But everytime of the year is good. This plant is really resistant. Fruits grow in a 5-6 old plant

@@3dviz332 Hi, actually also in Sicily some people use to cook the leaves... Ironically I discovered it after visiting Mexico. It is San Mauro Castelverde, a small Sicilian village in the Madonie area (province of Palermo near Cefalù) where people use to cook the leaves like cutlets. They make a sort of bitter and sour sauce. Delicious!

it is also native to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, California, and Utah but then again those states were part of Mexico, so you are not wrong. it's an indigenous food. Darn it now I want agua fresca.
