130 - 24th - Parched

Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 24th Apr'08

The dark brown parched piece of cactus which you see in the photo is originally lush green in color when alive and is used in many different dishes across Mexico. It is actually very tasty and has a sour tangy taste. Apart from growing in the wild it is also cultivated as a crop with proper farming practices. The best thing about growing cactus as a crop is that it needs minimal care and almost the entire plant can be used including it's thorns which are used for "stitching" in many "wrapped" preparations like tamale.
