Did you know cactus farming is becoming more popular—and for a tasty reason?
These spiky plants produce a fruit called prickly pear, which tastes like bubblegum and watermelon! After just one year, they’re ready to harvest.
Here’s the twist: if you see a brown scar, that spot will never grow fruit again.
Plus, cactus pads (called nopals) are completely edible and used in dishes like tacos! Oh, and did we mention a single cactus can store up to 200 gallons of water?

Why are people farming cactus? The answer might surprise you. Cactus farming isn’t just cool, it’s clever. These spiky plants grow a sweet little fruit called prickly pear, which tastes like a mix of watermelon and bubble gum. After about a year of growth, the cactus is ready to harvest. But here’s a weird fact. If you spot a brown scar, no fruit will grow there again, ever. Even cooler, a single cactus can store up to 200 gallons of water. And those spiky parts, they’re not leaves. They’re pads or no pals. And yes, they’re totally edible. You can even toss them into tacos. Would you give cactus tacos a try? Comment below and hit that subscribe button for more food facts.
