a b Guzmán-Maldonado, S. H.; etal. (2010). "Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Functional Characterization of Fruits Xoconostle ( Opuntia matudae) Pears from Central-México Region". Journal of Food Science. 75 (6): C485–92. doi: 10.1111/j.1750-3841.2010.01679.x. PMID 20722901. Botanically, " spines" are distinguished from "thorns": spines are modified leaves, and thorns are modified branches. Cacti produce spines, always from areoles as noted above. Spines are present even in those cacti with leaves, such as Pereskia, Pereskiopsis and Maihuenia, so they clearly evolved before complete leaflessness. Some cacti only have spines when young, possibly only when seedlings. This is particularly true of tree-living cacti, such as Rhipsalis and Schlumbergera, but also of some ground-living cacti, such as Ariocarpus. [11]

The fruit is not the only part of the cactus that can be eaten. It has soft pads called nopales that can be eaten raw or made into sweet or savoury dishes. They can be added to scrambled eggs, salads, tacos, soups, stews, chilli, salsa, and even lasagna to make them healthier.Derya Ozdemir (23 June 2020).

Most cactus fruits can be eaten fresh and raw. After peeling the skin, slice the sweet watery pulp into bite-size pieces and serve. They can make a tasty salad, fruit toppings, or a cold creamy smoothie. Alternatively, squeeze the pulp and make a refreshing beverage. In the fall of 1961, Cuba had its troops plant a 13-kilometre (8mi) barrier of Opuntia cactus along the northeastern section of the 28-kilometre (17mi) fence surrounding the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base to stop Cubans from escaping Cuba to take refuge in the United States. [43] This was dubbed the "Cactus Curtain", an allusion to Europe's Iron Curtain [44] and the Bamboo Curtain in East Asia. Prior to modern medicine, Native Americans and Mexicans primarily used Opuntia as a coagulant for open wounds, using the pulp of the stem either by splitting the stem or scraping out the pulp.

It has a lot of minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients that all work together to keep blood pressure in a healthy range. As a result of its ability to increase insulin sensitivity, it has potential as a diabetes-related dietary supplement.
