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.
Nowhere else across theses United States are these whole Chiles available at any price. Other merchants only carry a chopped up mess of seeds, skin from which pulp must be separated, a waste of Chiles, time and money, thank you for the many items you have made available wherever I have lived in the Country
I have been using La Victoria Taco Sauces for the past 40 years. They provide the perfect seasoning and taste to my tacos. I am so glad I found MexGrocer.com, which provides the sauces when ever I need them.
