I've eaten cactus in several dishes (soup, stews, tacos) and can confirm. "Nopal", as they call it in Mexico, is tasty, cheap, and highly nutritious.

I feel sorry for the cactus in my garden. It’s on tonight’s menu after reading this.

I have no idea how it's best eaten, but that sounds like a good addition to a regular diet. Added to soup, stew or curry (if it's ok to cook it without killing off the nutrients) or blended in a smoothie or mixed with a liquid for a healthy drink. Good call Kasugai.

In Mexico maybe, this this Japan. The special "Japanese cactus premium" will be added

As fish moratoriums are the only future, this is a nice story for local resilience and increasing variety. I'll have to try it

Here in California we eat a lot of different cuisines, including Mexican, which includes cactus. Cactus is one of my favorite dishes. Very tasty, and very healthy.

I sure hope the chefs remove the spines.
