I just finished watching your video, and it reminded me of my neighbor Lydia who just passed away last week. She was Hispanic, and I'm white, but she introduced me to nopales, and we even went out in the country and picked some in the wild, brought them home and cleaned and cooked them. We had so much fun that day, and you brought it all back. Thank you so much and God's blessings to you.

I haven't even gotten to the end of your video, but I have to tell you - - I love how you teach cooking! You make me wish my mother had taught me like that. My husband and I went to a "world market" here in Atlanta today - there are quite a few of them here. And as always, I picked up little bits of foods I have never tried before. I have always wanted to try cactus! So I bought ONE leaf of nopales. hahaha. And I pulled up your video to find out what to do with it! : ] You peel and cook your vegetables a lot like I do. You made me feel so comfortable about preparing and cooking my nopales - thanks to you, Bob and I will experience a new food tomorrow! Eres maravillosa......btw, I am not Hispanic.......(Polish! So, forgive me.) : ]

I remember my mother sending me out to harvest the new growth pads from a patch that grew in our alleyway. She would clean, cook, and serve them. I cried at dinner time so I would not have to eat them. Ugggh. Then one day about a year ago I ate them at a Mexican restaurant thinking they were green beans. Ha! I ate them and loved them! Thank you posting a video on how to cook them. I cant wait to cook nopales. I wish she could see me eating them now! I'll cook some for my grandkids. I'm "SURE" they will love them! Ha! And the circle of life goes on.

I'll have to look up their nutrition information, but, if they really are good for diabetes, I'll have to get some and practice making them for my mom. :) my folks have had nopales before. They said that it sorta reminds them of okra. Probably because of the sliminess, lol. Well, thank you for making this video and being so thorough in your instructions. You are an awesome teacher!

This is the best video I've found on making nopales. I have a jar of Doña María nopalitos(chopped up nopales), and the ingredients follow, mostly, what this video uses. The canned version uses one serrano, where this video uses red pepper flakes. And the commercial version has sodium benzoate as preservative. Otherwise, the ingredients used in the video are the same as the jarred version. ----------------------- The jarred version holds up quite nicely, which is important, as I only use it up slowly, mostly in omelets. I wonder if this home-made version would last as long in the frig as my store-bought version.
