Sorry, after tasting it once or twice, we always dried out the skin and ground it up into a powder and gel capped it up. The taste is extordinarly bad IMO.
Never attempt to make a cacti smoothie. Mixing in orange juice and whatnot with cacti in a blender may sound like a good idea (if you're an idiot like me) but it is not. Just a larger volume of shit to force down your throat....yuck and ugh.
