Cacti and yuccas
Where are my yuccas. I want to be able to id banana yucca correctly.
Tasajil (jumping cactus) fruit can supposedly can be used as a cough drop but o would not try it. To hard to clean of the little owies.
Prickly pear tunas usually taste better purple.
The yucca with the white flowers growing around a column stick in the center have edible flowers and the center stick is edible when cooked.

Yucca is delicious when prepared into “mashed potatoes”. It is good for joint discomfort/ arthritis symptoms.

There are a lot of species to cover for both Yucca and Prickly Pear (Opuntia), we’re working on them now!
