Use by Native Americans [ edit ]
The Zuni people use the plant for multiple purposes. The chewed seeds are rubbed onto the body before the cactus ceremony to protect it from spines. A compound poultice of seeds is applied to wounds or used to remove splinters.[ 2] The seeds are also ground, mixed with cornmeal, made into cakes, and steamed for food.[ 4]
