- Subject: [Market-farming] Cactus/Nopal production
- Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 11:42:13 -0700
I'm considering setting aside an acre (or less) to the production of
nopales. I imagine it's pretty easy compared to tomatoes! I am more
interested in the paddles than the prickly pears. Is there a strain that's
better suited to food? I have several big ones but the pads seem huge
compared to the commercial cacti I see coming from Mexico, which are thin
and tender. It's not just an age thing because mine seem thick right out the
gate.
Mine are producing a ton of prickly pears (tunas) this year.
Ideas and sources would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
