Can you eat the cacti in the Chenshan Botanical Garden?

🌿 In the northwest corner of the botanical garden, there is a delicate feature garden called the Mine Park, which was once an abandoned mining area and is now a garden within the Chenshan Botanical Garden. 🧩 I particularly like the cacti in the xerophytic plant museum there. Cactus is not the name of a single plant, but a general term for plants in the succulent cactus family. There are many different plants here, such as the dragon tree, crown of thorns, jade plant, golden barrel cactus, and many more, too numerous to count. 🧩 I heard that in the large family of succulent plants, aside from some toxic alkaloids, some parts of the cactus stems and leaves are edible. They can be eaten raw in salads, fried, or stir-fried, and can also be made into delicious drinks. 🧩 For those interested in cactus plants, you must go to the xerophytic plant museum at the Chenshan Botanical Garden to take a look. You will surely return with a lot of gains and have an eye-opening experience. 🌵 Garden Name: Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden 📍 Address: No. 3888 Chenhua Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai 🚇 Transportation: Songjiang 95/96 bus routes both reach 🅿️ Parking: 5 yuan/hour
