Why This CACTUS Is a Treasure in China
Why do people in China treat the prickly pear cactus like a national treasure?
It’s not just a plant—they eat it, drink it, heal with it, and even turn its thorns into tea!
In this short, discover how every part of the cactus is used:
– Young pads are stir-fried or simmered into soups
– Dried flowers become calming herbal tea
– The stem is boiled with red dates for liver-detox tea
– And the bright red fruit? Sweet, antioxidant-rich, and amazing for your skin! More than food or medicine, the cactus is a symbol of quiet resilience and survival in Chinese culture.
Watch till the end—you might just look at this spiky plant differently.
