    Interesting recipes, but where would I find cactus in Canada.

    I have seen in cans or jars at the grocery, but I don't live in Canada. Look for Nopales or Nopalitos. If you have a Mexican grocery somewhere, I bet they would have it.

    You know cactus comes from Mexico and its getting really popular in the USA for its health benefits and now u can find it in any grocery store. They usually have them next to the bell peppers.
