Today's main ingredient is a little prickly.
I did not know that the Cactus could be eaten, much less turned into a soup, and a nutritious one at that.
I was at my sister's place the other day when she asked me to stay for dinner as she is making this soup.
My jaw dropped when I heard that.
Never before in my life have I ever heard of "Cactus Soup".
I did not stay for dinner that day although it did pique my curiousity for the next few days.
Thus, when I saw Cactus pads for sale at the supermarket this morning, I decided to buy a piece home to try it out.
Cactus Soup is really fuss-free and easy to make but most of all, it is very affordable and nutritious.
Did you know that the Cactus contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins and are good sources of both vitamin C
and calcium?
Here are more benefits of the Catcus:
- Reduces swelling
- Expels heatiness
- Strengthens immunity
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Bon appetit!
