Barrel cactus plants eat dissolved nutrientsfrom the soil. The nutrients tend to be minerals and trace elements. They also eat photosynthetic products, such as energizing starches and sugars.
Plants do not "eat", they absorb minerals and water from the soil and metabolize them together with sunlight (photosynthesis) to form simple sugars which provide energy for the plant
