Andrew Posted April 28, 2000 Giday I have a small amount of edible prickly pear seeds if any one is interested in trading.Not sure if they are opuntia tuna or opuntia ficus-indica but they produce a large sweet red edible fruit about 100 mm. long.Possibly illegal to cultivate in N.S.W. see ya.

Ed Dunkel Posted April 28, 2000 I seem to remember that some opuntia species have small amounts of phenylethylamines like mescaline in there flesh (not fruit). Do you know if your prickly pears contain any? E D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Posted April 28, 2000 Hi Ed Sorry but I have no idea of the pharmocology of this plant except I think the paddles(leaves/branches)called nopal have some medicinal uses in south America.see ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
