00:00Why is this farmer burning a cactus?
00:02It may look destructive, but it's actually feeding time.
00:05Because for cattle, burnt prickly pear cactus is a valuable desert food.
00:09Because it's made up of nearly 90% water, making it crucial in dry climates.
00:13But the problem is, it's covered in sharp spines that can be painful and dangerous to
00:17eat.
00:18And to solve this, farmers use a torch to burn off the spines.
00:21And once cleared, the cactus becomes soft, juicy, and full of nutrients.
