Orlando Combs · Answer 1

It screens water out of the cactus pieces.

Explanation:

Removing water from cactus is a survival skill. This is because these plants have the ability to store water in their leaves.

To remove the water they store, you need to cut some "pads," the name given to the succulent leaves of the plant, remove the thorns, cut into pieces and, with the aid of a cloth, squeeze them.

cactus with fruits usually have water suitable for human consumption. If, even finding fruits, the person is left in doubt, the tip is to check if it has been pecked by birds. If so, no problem, you can drink the water.
