AI6YR BenI have almost infinite nopal (prickly pear cactus pads) in my garden....which I have been eating nearly every day... curious what's the nutrition content of them. 🤔
(answer, per Wikipedia)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia
Next time I slice myself open on something in the garden, will try this... (probably will be tomorrow, lol, or later today)
Per reference on Wikipedia:
"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"

i was reading the other day that having regular contact with the 'soil microbiome' is prolly a good thing
Soil microbiomes and one health - Nature Reviews Microbiology
One health links human, animal and environmental health, and microorganisms have a central role in this connection. In this Review, Banerjee and van der Heijden outline the central role of the soil microbiome for one health and its detrimental or beneficial effects.
