Nelly, you can eat the sweet fruit and the leaf as well!! You both need to come to Mexico and try all the different tuna (fruit) flavors/colors :D There are green, yellow, orange, magenta, dark red..aaahhh and they are a delicious, fresh and juicy treat to calm the heat at noon during sping time :D
Double muuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccc
maybe I'll really come to mexico next year or so! always wanted to visit! and you are the second to invite me :))
well, i have to save some money first - we'll see how long that takes.
Just lately i read an article about nopales con tunas and that they even are used for medical purposes...

Oh yes, Nopales are great to control the bad cholesterol in blood :) it is a great source of fiber so helps to digest :) ..of course that in excess (this is no exeption) is bad, cause it may not permit to the calcium you eat to be fixed in your bones but still, this is by eating a large and daily amount. Once or twice a week won't harm :) (btw, here you can get it in pills or powder, ready to use :)
