This listing is for 40 Yellow Flower Prickly Pear Opuntia Seeds. Opuntia is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae. This variety grows wild here in my Cental Oklahoma yard. Cactus figs are are extremely tasty and often used to make candies, jelly, or drinks such as vodka or lemonade. The Seeds can be ground into a medicinal flour. Opuntia contain a range of alkaloids in ample quantities. Mexican natives have used the food for thousands of years, to make colonche, an alcoholic drink. At least two commercially important distilled spirits are produced from Opuntia fruit. In Malta, the pink herbal bajtra liqueur is made from Opuntia. Opuntia is also added sometimes to the entheogenic drink Ayahuasca. Psychoactive compounds and derivates thereof have been confirmed in some species. These include 3,4-DMPEA, 4-hydroxy-3,5-DMPEA, and mescaline. A smaller Cactus and Low to the ground, this Opuntia self seeds well. Pads and pods are good to eat for food. The Slime of Opuntia is medicine and has been shown to purify water in recent scientific studies. An Amazing Survival Food and more! Thank You for Looking!
