- Wash your hair, moisturize your skin and clean your lungs with the same plant! Today Freelance Chucky is showing us a super healthy (but not necessarily tasty) variety of cactus called Tuna...also knows as pear cactus, prickly pear or opuntia. Growing straight on the freelance yard, this cactus is a fast growing and extremely useful plant! We also chat about childhood games, grapefruit cricket balls and much more.
Thanks to Delcine, @kingdavidandtheroyalfamilyofgod , Gerald, Ollie, Callum and everyone who joined in the video. Big up @Backpackingsimon as well for his great work on the @FreelanceJamaica channel and inspiring me to come visit Freelance style.
bless up,
Matthew

Matthew my Dad would take 3 days off smoking herbs every 6 months and would drink it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. He'd set it for 24 hours before consuming it. The belief is that it cleans the kidney and lungs and when he start back smoking it was a different high. Great content as always these old time traditions and tricks are dying with the older generation. Glad to see you're still keeping these things alive and well. One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
Respect Mo! Much appreciated
The cactus in Mexico have thorns you can't grab it with your hands like that you have to skin the Thorns off then cut it up in Mexico it's called n o p a l e s
@@jessthomas8430 only if u pick the old ones nopalito is that young part before it grows thorns
True lots of tricks are really dying with the older generation.
Help brother... 🙏🇵🇭🇪🇹🥺
It's called tuna because of the fruit that comes from the cactus.
In Mexico we call that fruit Tuna which in English i think it's called prickly pear but we call the cactus nopal and both the cactus and the fruit are edibles 🙌🏼🇲🇽
this has no spikes though in the video!!??? I have opunta but they have spines
I am from Antigua 🇦🇬 and we call it Cassie, we clean them ,then cut them very thin ,boil them put a little salt in the water then strain it and you can eat with salt fish and boil dumplings 😋 😉 or whatever you might eat salt fish with you also eat both
That sounds amazing!
Thank you Mathew n Chucky...i have a plant in my yard...m going now to take sum n try it with water..tomorrow ill try it with coconut water..i also have coconut tree...fr...Guam

Bless up 🙌
🙏🏾🤛🏾✌🏾bless up for the great videos you!! do respec
In Mexico and California “Tuna” is the reddish apple that the Cactus produces. The cactus itself can be boiled / drained and served with eggs and many other dishes. It goes by the name of “Nopales” as the plant itself.
Prickly pear is the name in California
The flesh inside the fruit is the tuna. Not the fruit itself. Most cacti have tuna in the fruit.
@@MEAT_CANNON no in Jamaica tuna is just a slang for cactus
@@MEAT_CANNON we use the flat cactus for shampoo we call it tuna the fruit is completely different it's called prickly pear I used to harvest it in Arizona and make juice
Thanks be to u
I appreciate those who have commented about the plant and how to consume it. It has been a pleasure learning about this. Thank you much.
That's so cool. Glad you were able to learn more about it. Bless up
@@RasKitchen Knowledge is powerful. peace, love, and blessings fam🙏🏾
Yea am feeling this one let’s all drink something healthy bless up Chuck 🫶🏾👊🏾
😀🌵The cactus is good healthy just like the aloe vera plant..you can use it on skin hair and eat it too that's amazing one love❤💛💚
Tip for eating Nopal (aka cactus aka tuna) get the nice ripe ones for eating if its too stiff its not ready(sort of like the aguacate or "pear") this spiny succulent is delicious when fried with garlic, onion,salt,pepper, tomatoes (PAMADOROOOO) and spicy peppers. Its great with pork or in a vegetarian recipe . it can also be prepare uncooked as a salsa with the previous ingredients and a nice amount of lime juice .
In Mexico and Texas it is called Nopal or Nopalito. Cactus juice. It is drank here as well. Some even add sugar to the drink. The nopal is cut up and cooked like greens. They eat with eggs or meat.
Real vitamin water 🌊
In Sicily We call it Fico D’india (Indian figue) but for the tourist is more known as prickly pears (maybe I write it wrong) the fruits of our cactuses are delicious and of different colours white, purple, orange. We use to eat them since centuries here. I will try to make the drink and let you know..😉👍🔝Big up guys one love💚
Bless up 🙌
In Mexico they call them Nopal and they give a flower that fruit is called Tuna .
Cactus water boasts benefits including fighting free radical damage, damage from UV/UB rays, and pollution because it contains taurine. Taurine is a very potent and dense antioxidant that reduces inflammation and detoxifies your skin,” Engelman says. “In addition, it contains vitamins B and C, calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron that can help boost your immune system , This is such a lovely health benefit video keep them coming
Thank your for sharing this method of using this cactus. I live in St. Croix US Virgin Islands! I know a few people of Antiguan Decent that call it cassy. They slice them up somewhat thinly and cook it as a vegetable, then season it to taste. I ate it cooked and it was delicious!
In California the dish is called Napoles. Though in Los Angeles the big hiking and mnt biking spot in Glendale was La Tuna Canyon (because of the cactus). The word Tuna is from Spanish.
greetings from mexico the plant is the nopal and the fruit of the plant would be the prickly pear (tuna,) which would be like the apple, the apple is the fruit of the apple plant
a ball the size of a very particular peach that is peeled and you get the delicious pulp , ground with water no more is needed and well cold in the refrigerator the most refreshing thing there can be
fun fact: The Spanish word 'tuna' is a word taken from the Taíno languages of the Caribbean which are now extinct languages
When you cut it up and soak it in coconut water you can drink it and it will help with muscle pain...
Chucky give thanks, you and Matthew are doing a great job educating the people! Bless up!
The t shirt is heavvy star one of mi favourite artist marley🙏🏾👍🏾🤛🏾🏌🏾♂️🧑🏾🚀🏋🏾♂️
All the games that Chucky played in the 70s, down to the grapefruit as a ball, I played too and I was born in the 90s.
Cactus must be in the sane family as Aloe vera
Aloe Vera is a hybrid “plant”
Hearing this man speak of South Africa and our childhood games. Legendary
Freelance Chucky One ☝🏼 Love ❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲
Had this visiting mom in JA. The fam told me that when added to coconut water, it's good for back pain.
Hey Matthew!
We call the the round fruit on top of the cactus the "Tuna" and make water/juice out of that fruit .
The actual cactus we call "NOPAL or NOPALES", and that's the part we actually cook with . The "TUNA" is eaten fresh. It's sort of a dragon fruit style .
Bless up yall
WORD. YES. I think the reason the fruit is called that DOES have to do with its appearance also. The bright-red/pink flesh on the inside might look like you just cut into a Tuna fish.
Oh 😂😂😂 I came expecting a real fish 🐟🐟
Agreed in California the dish is called Napoles. Though in Los Angeles the big hiking and mnt biking spot in Glendale was La Tuna Canyon (because of the cactus). The word Tuna is from Spanish.
@@Bellz972
Don’t feel as if you’re in your boat alone! 😂
That’s what I came here for too😂 I wanted to see how they were going to make that and let alone drink it 🤢 😂😂😂
@@coffeeondeck839 🤣 thank God. That's exactly the same reason I came as well 👍
That tuna water got me standing to Attention... natural strength 🥒
I share all this with everyone. We live in SWFL, USA, zone 9B. We grow cactus & a beautiful orchard my husband provided us with, love your video…..Thank you….Can’t wait to see all your videos & share Freelance Knowledge, thank you again…
I used to have these cactus in my yard in Miami close by down there.. i always had them around as a kid, no idea it was medical.
it grows so easy by itself. And sometimes it makes a nice pink flower a few time a year.
Most plants are medicinal.
Cactus with pineapple juice is amazing you guys should try it
Sounds delicious!
Marinated? Or separate?
@@shilohfilm i blend or juice the pine and then slice the tuna and marinate. Can marinate in coconut water also
@@jahknowgregstone1986What do you mean slice and marinate it??? Marinate in pine like a ‘ferment’ sounds intriguing. Tell me more...
From Treasure Beach!!
I had exactly that yesterday. Delicious 😋
Blessed love.this leaf is also good for pain warming it and putting it on the pain tie it down on the. Area

In Jamaica, we also use it for pain, particularly back pain. We split it in half, soak it overnight in coconut water, and then drink it. Some people also red water grass (I think that's the name) and drink it for pain.
Wife given recipe of cactus, coconut water and turmeric for knee injury. I blended and strained. Mexicans call it napales I think.
Nice drink. Have a nice time. Shalom 💖🌍🌏🌎💖✌️😉👍🙋♂️☀️
This is prickly pear... many different varieties. We have them in New Mexico sometimes. Some at ankle height, others toward Texas are as large as SUVs. Grows in abundance like grass lol...
The fruit ON TOP is what they call the TUNA. It grows a little yellow or red flower on top as well. They also call the entire cactus a tuna in South America. Argentina mainly. Its a great antioxidant source known to Native people throughout the Americas and Caribbean. Also, as Chucky said, its great for hair and skin.
Keep up the good work Matthew we love you man.
I thought most Jamaican buddy was crazy ,he drinks it twice that year.
He came from Jamaica about 10 years ago when he was 30 years old. He is living in west Virginia right now with his family he made.
He is a truck driver .
You gave out all of the man info
You can soak the tuna in coconut water and drink. It’s more palatable that way and it give a full cleanse
Freelance Chucky has a lot of knowledge too.
Hope your having a wonderful day chucky nuff love Up 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Matthew u are the best big up all of chucky guest welcome blessings to u all .
I love that slimy stuff Mexican cactus aka tuna.
You cut it up small like string beans and cook it with a little salt. Very tasty. Side a side dish of vegetables.
cactus is very good and healthy for you Chucky. It has a lot of uses :)
Tuna is the indigenous name in all the Américas!
Big Up Matthew and Chucky, loved the yard this past summer. Look forward to linking up next summer when we move back to Jamaica.😎🤙

Tuna in Mexico is the cactus fruit aka prickly pear. Which is super sweet delicious and full of water. One of my fav fruits.
Good to know!
Thanks Chucky & Matt. I learned something new today. Chucky always has a Good Energy ❤ 🌵
Glad you liked it
In Mexico we call the cactus fruit “tuna” otherwise known as the prickly pear in the USA.
in the usa they call it nopales also
Help brother... 🙏🇵🇭🇪🇹🥺
I'm an avid cactus collector so I would have a hard time damaging the plant to use like this.
I have tried this and it's good.
Opuntia, commonly called prickly pear or pear cactus, is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae. Prickly pears are also known as tuna (fruit),
Big up mat Chunky I remember them day in Jamaica
Good morning Matthew and Chucky great drink
In Santa Cruz I had a friend known as Ras Aloe who advocated for the use of aloe as a sexual lubricant. He's a performer and has a song call Aloe the Punani.
😂😂😂🤣
Ayooo lmao
Love chunks t 👕🌈
Chucky if you cut it into strips length wise my wife says it's like green beans. She's Mexican so she knows. She calls it green beans of the desert
He got some real good features the man in the picture, like if he has daughters they fine with sparkling eyes lol
I grow prickly pear & always pick wild cactus fruits. Prickly pear is a pretty big cactus variety. They're all edible. The kind in this video looks really good. I bet the fruit is delicious too. The cactus I have has to be eaten when the petals are young. It basically has a vein structure that gets really tough when it gets to mature. It also has a bunch of tiny hair like spines that really suck to get in your skin. Chucky's looks like it doesn't have either problem.
You can still use the mature ones for sauces or salsas. So far I've had them grilled & put in soup/stew. Both really good.
Love the video. I have eaten cooked nopales (prickly pear) before but never thought to infuse water with it, will have to give it a try!
Chucky man good to see you brotha🤙🏼❤️
As always many thanks and i to used to play and enjoy all these games..much love..one love..respect.
Hi,in Trinidad we call it rachet,good cooling an clean out,an you wash your hair by the river or spring.
11:33 I used to be fantastic at Jacks!!! Where the hell can you buy Jacks now??
And I thought that my grandpa was the only person who used to do this here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Man i always love your little 10 seconds intros.
Never stop doing those man 🤙ha
its part of antigua and barbuda natinoal dish very nice
Never heard of this but Mexicans eat cactus but different type. Use in salads and tacos. Chucky's style is still good. More to cleanse the stomach. Happy Friday and stay well.
Real talk...those cricketing days were so much fun....outdoors was easy back then....
I grow prickly pear/tuna. I need to try this sometime soon. I smoke a lot. 🤣
First thing that came to my mind about the name is possibly the scientific name. Atleast in Mexico and California cacti like that with the paddles comes from a family called Optuna
Yes in Mexico they steam it and cook it also the make it raw with onion cilantro and tomato cut up in a dish
Thank you Matthew 🙏❤💛💚
It is very good , I use it in my hair, and ony skin
Prickly pear that’s what I’ve always known to be Tucson Arizona,much❤
Looks good Matthew. Maybe make it ice cold. Add some ice and a slice of lime 😂 Making a cactus turn into a Michelin star drink 😂👍 Bless up. Enjoy a bit of tuna water. Can't be bad
True!
I'm watching from the United States Virgin Islands...THE WORLD PARADISE!!!!
