Look, I get it. You’re at a farmer’s market, and a guy is selling candied cactus. That’s safe. But that tiny, fuzzy cactus on your desk that you water once a month? That’s a Mammillaria, and while it won’t kill you, it’s about as tasty as eating a handful of dry sand with a side of hair. I know someone who ate one on a dare. He described the experience as “eating a spiky, flavorless marshmallow that makes your tongue feel like sandpaper.” He’s fine, but he’s also constantly reminding me, “Just because it’s a plant, doesn’t mean it’s a salad.”
