A Four (4) ounce bag of dry is about two pounds wet. The math -> 32 ounces wet = 3.2 ounces dry + 28.8 ounces water, so 4 ounces dry is an overweight of two pounds wet. Opuntia averages 89% to 93% water in most analysis studies. I sell that 4 ounce bag for $25.99 delivered. DELIVERED.

What does that look like?

What you get on E-bay

WET2015-10-13 18.54.30.jpg DRY2015-10-13 19.11.18.jpg that costs $12.95 delivered. E-bay prices bounce all over the place, sometimes it's a great deal, most often it's as depicted here.

When ordering, PM me here on TFO for 10% discount of four ounce or larger size. Samples of 1 ounce dry (about 1/2 pound wet) are $7.00 delivered.
