Andrew Posted April 28, 2000 Share Posted April 28, 2000 GidayI 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
