Prickly pear cactus has been a staple of the Mexican and Central American diet for thousands of years. In parts of the U.S. it has been gaining popularity as an exotic, gourmet and healthy addition to one's diet. The prickly pear plant has two different edible sections: the pad of the cactus (nopal), which can be treated like a vegetable, and the pear (tuna), which can be treated like a fruit. They grow wild throughout the American southwest, down to South America and up to Canada. The ones you may find at a local store or farmers market will surely originate from a commercial nopal farm.
Granpa!sorry I answer you question so late!
the inscription on the stone is something like a kind of wishes, Those Tibetian people who believe in Budaism pray for their wishes in this why!
But I dont know exactly what did they say on the stone, that is Tibetian words.
