Codex entry

Entry 1
Opuntia engelmannii ranges from California to Louisiana and through northern Mexico, growing at 1,000 to 4,500 feet, and is among the most common prickly pears in the Southwest.
Entry 2
The sweet red fruits, called "tunas," were eaten fresh, dried into meal for porridge, fermented into beverages, or used as a red dye by Native peoples.
Entry 3
The Tohono O'odham of the Sonoran Desert classified prickly pear fruits by color, ripening time, and storage longevity; pads roasted free of spines are eaten as nopales.
