BellaOnline Forums Money Frugal Living Uses for prickly pear plants and fruit

LOL Sandy! Go figure - I live in the desert and have to go to a store to purchase sand! Ah, man I get a kick out of life!

I only use Aloe raw and on the skin. My skin doesn't mind being sticky and good thing too as it lives in the desert. But, my mouth ... oh that mouth of mine, I tell ya. I saute them in olive oil with onion, green/red pepper, and garlic.

Is there a dish you would suggest that might work for "hiding" the nopals? Do you ever dry them? Do you use them for anything other than meals?
