Wow. The Prickly Pear is considered a noxious weed here in Australia especially in the drier grazing lands. I never knew it was even edible let alone have health benefits.

I didn't know it was in Australia. There a many species, most are edible but a few are not. better check first.
Not native , it was introduced as a garden plant. Caused massive problems in the early 1900's. They released the Cactoblastis moth as a biocontrol agent which worked much better than some of the governments other biocontrol efforts such as the Cane Toad for the Cane beetle which has now spread to 1/3 of the country and is decimating many ecosystems on its way.
oh i c like the bull frog right. ah so. I bet it really thrives there.
Canada is losing forest to the Asian Long Horn Beetle similarly to Aussies issue
