Matthew my Dad would take 3 days off smoking herbs every 6 months and would drink it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. He'd set it for 24 hours before consuming it. The belief is that it cleans the kidney and lungs and when he start back smoking it was a different high.

The cactus in Mexico have thorns you can't grab it with your hands like that you have to skin the Thorns off then cut it up in Mexico it's called n o p a l e s
It's called tuna because of the fruit that comes from the cactus. In Mexico we call that fruit Tuna which in English i think it's called prickly pear but we call the cactus nopal and both the cactus and the fruit are edibles 🙌🏼🇲🇽
I am from Antigua 🇦🇬 and we call it Cassie, we clean them ,then cut them very thin ,boil them put a little salt in the water then strain it and you can eat with salt fish and boil dumplings 😋 😉 or whatever you might eat salt fish with you also eat both

In Mexico and California “Tuna” is the reddish apple that the Cactus produces. The cactus itself can be boiled / drained and served with eggs and many other dishes. It goes by the name of “Nopales” as the plant itself.
@@MEAT_CANNON we use the flat cactus for shampoo we call it tuna the fruit is completely different it's called prickly pear I used to harvest it in Arizona and make juice
In Sicily We call it Fico D’india (Indian figue) but for the tourist is more known as prickly pears (maybe I write it wrong) the fruits of our cactuses are delicious and of different colours white, purple, orange. We use to eat them since centuries here. I will try to make the drink and let you know..😉👍🔝Big up guys one love💚
Thank your for sharing this method of using this cactus. I live in St. Croix US Virgin Islands! I know a few people of Antiguan Decent that call it cassy. They slice them up somewhat thinly and cook it as a vegetable, then season it to taste. I ate it cooked and it was delicious!
In Mexico and Texas it is called Nopal or Nopalito. Cactus juice. It is drank here as well. Some even add sugar to the drink. The nopal is cut up and cooked like greens. They eat with eggs or meat.
Tip for eating Nopal (aka cactus aka tuna) get the nice ripe ones for eating if its too stiff its not ready(sort of like the aguacate or "pear") this spiny succulent is delicious when fried with garlic, onion,salt,pepper, tomatoes (PAMADOROOOO) and spicy peppers. Its great with pork or in a vegetarian recipe . it can also be prepare uncooked as a salsa with the previous ingredients and a nice amount of lime juice .
greetings from mexico the plant is the nopal and the fruit of the plant would be the prickly pear (tuna,) which would be like the apple, the apple is the fruit of the apple plant a ball the size of a very particular peach that is peeled and you get the delicious pulp , ground with water no more is needed and well cold in the refrigerator the most refreshing thing there can be
In California the dish is called Napoles. Though in Los Angeles the big hiking and mnt biking spot in Glendale was La Tuna Canyon (because of the cactus). The word Tuna is from Spanish.

I used to have these cactus in my yard in Miami close by down there.. i always had them around as a kid, no idea it was medical. it grows so easy by itself. And sometimes it makes a nice pink flower a few time a year.
In Jamaica, we also use it for pain, particularly back pain. We split it in half, soak it overnight in coconut water, and then drink it. Some people also red water grass (I think that's the name) and drink it for pain.
Hey Matthew! We call the the round fruit on top of the cactus the "Tuna" and make water/juice out of that fruit . The actual cactus we call "NOPAL or NOPALES", and that's the part we actually cook with . The "TUNA" is eaten fresh. It's sort of a dragon fruit style . Bless up yall
WORD. YES. I think the reason the fruit is called that DOES have to do with its appearance also. The bright-red/pink flesh on the inside might look like you just cut into a Tuna fish.
Agreed in California the dish is called Napoles. Though in Los Angeles the big hiking and mnt biking spot in Glendale was La Tuna Canyon (because of the cactus). The word Tuna is from Spanish.
@@Bellz972 Don’t feel as if you’re in your boat alone! 😂 That’s what I came here for too😂 I wanted to see how they were going to make that and let alone drink it 🤢 😂😂😂
This is prickly pear... many different varieties. We have them in New Mexico sometimes. Some at ankle height, others toward Texas are as large as SUVs. Grows in abundance like grass lol... The fruit ON TOP is what they call the TUNA. It grows a little yellow or red flower on top as well. They also call the entire cactus a tuna in South America. Argentina mainly. Its a great antioxidant source known to Native people throughout the Americas and Caribbean. Also, as Chucky said, its great for hair and skin. Keep up the good work Matthew we love you man.
I thought most Jamaican buddy was crazy ,he drinks it twice that year. He came from Jamaica about 10 years ago when he was 30 years old. He is living in west Virginia right now with his family he made. He is a truck driver .
Today , me make some tuna water for myself. Me start to get Astma...bad. After my first cup me feel mutch better...Thank Rasta. My friend give it to me always in Jamaica. Zeen

Nopales is a cactus and the prickly pear or “tuna” is amazing! Very healthy for the hair and this is where they copy the idea of Aloe Vera from but this is God’s Aloe Vera, Natural

Prickly pear is the name in California
The flesh inside the fruit is the tuna. Not the fruit itself. Most cacti have tuna in the fruit.

Cactus water tea can be used to give *enema* to children and adults too in doses appropriate.
You cut it up small like string beans and cook it with a little salt. Very tasty. Side a side dish of vegetables.
soooo good
It's called nopales. We eat it in West Texas too.
You can soak the tuna in coconut water and drink. It’s more palatable that way and it give a full cleanse
