I was checking this website to see if its okay to not drain and rinse before cooking. Because I love the juice that it comes in. I like drinking it. I read the label too late. It says to rinse and drain. Does anyone know about that?
Plus it is healthy especially if you are pre diabetic.
I mixed them with eggs and topped with parmesan cheese and it hit the spot.

NOPALITOS OR NOPALES
Nopalitos - Cactus, or Nopal, is a typical sight in the Mexican landscape. It is not strange that it should find its way into the local cuisine. The use of Nopalitos has its origins in the Roman Catholic observance of serving meatless dishes during Lent; now they are a part of everyday cooking. The paddle, or tender pads, of the plant (called prickly pear in the U.S.) are eaten as a green vegetable in Mexico. The best young shoots are packed fresh, pickled or preserved. Sliced for convenience, their use lends itself to a variety of dishes, such as traditional nopalitos salad or soup. Combined with seafood, omelets, quiches, and casseroles, nopalitos adds a delicious and authentic flair.
It is believed that one of nopalitos (nopal cactus) properties is a natural diabetes and cholesterol medication, and its also used in the treatment of obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, skin ailments, and viral infections.
Best Hot Sauce On The Planet! It should carry a warning...LoL. I've used it since about 1988 in a tiny diner in Scotts Valley, CA. I was hooked from that day--The price has gone up, which is understandable given our current circumstances--I used to pay a couple of bucks for for a bottle of it.
I love purchasing from this company on-line, my shipments are well packaged, the prices are very reasonable and I get status updates once shipped. They offer a wide variety of items! Excellent!
I buy Flor de Jamaica flower bags on a regular basis as we drink it throughout the year and mix it with seltzer water, it is easy to boil and make into a refreshing elixir! I love the availability of the flowers from Mexican Grocer! It can be hard to source outside of this vendor! Shipping is fast and the bags are well packaged!
I received 2 shot glasses based on the amount of items I purchased, we used them and had them set up in our cocktail bar during the 4th of July and while watching both Mexico and the USA team play in the World Cup, loved them!
