Cactus in Israel
Opuntia have naturalized throughout southern Europe and the middle east for food, both the pads and the fruit.
Hello.
We are looking for some prickly pear that has been bred for the edibility of the tunas (fruiting bodies) and the pads. Would you know where we might look?
Thank you,

Norman,
Do you mean in Israel? They’re everywhere. Here’s a website about it.
If you’re looking in Northern California, we have them.
You can also use any of the pads (full, not cut up) you find in a grocery store, and plant them in the ground and they will usually grow.
