If you are going into the desert for an extended period of time you need to plan ahead and take sufficient food and water with you. Unless you are an expert in identifying edible desert plants you would do best to avoid eating anything in the desert. There are many toxic plants, including some cacti.

∙ 8y agoMillions upon millions of people around the world live in deserts and the
vast majority (over 99%) live in cities and towns where food is readily
available in stores and markets or restaurants. I live in the Chihuahuan
Desert and have a Wal*Mart SuperCenter a half mile from my home where I
can purchase nearly any food I desire. There are also a number of
restaurants and fast food establishments within a short walking distance
of my home. For those who live far from a town or city, many of them grow
at least part of their own food and purchase other food items when they
make an occasional trip into town to stock up on supplies.
My home also has indoor running water but I am also able to purchase
bottled water at the Wal*Mart close to my home. The same is available to
most others who live in deserts.
