Prickly Pear In our area you'll often find these labeled as "Nopales". My daughter used to buy these to cook for her family. You apparently peel them of the cactus needles and then cut into strips and saute. I've never tried them, but I do know there is a small homestead that produces these as a wholesale item for local Mexican markets.
Potatoes
Pumpkins
Romanesco
Rutabagas
Sweet Potatoes
Winter Squash
Sunchokes
Turnips Most think of the root but in the South, we look for the greens as well. I confess, of all the greens, turnip greens are not my favorite.
Nuts:
Almonds
Chestnuts
Pecans
Walnuts
