PRICKLY PEAR THE NATIVE AMERICAN SUPERFOOD >> www.truenopal.co.uk
For centuries the people of the Sonoran Desert, have benefitted from the goodness of the nopal cactus, a superfood that thrives in one of the hottest locations on Earth. Growing on it are unique fruits commonly known as the prickly pear. Believed to be the only known source of all 24 betalains (antioxidants)(1) and naturally rich in nutrients such as vitamins C, electrolytes (magnesium, calcium & potassium) and its even high in dietary fibre (2).
One of the most popular uses is to help relieve a hangover, where it has been used to reduce headaches associated with too much alcohol (3). The cactus plant is loaded with nutrients, resulting in many folk law preparations to alleviate an upset digestion, irritation, cuts and bruises and even cold symptoms (3).
Our roots are based in Arizona, but we believe the goodness of the prickly pear deserves to be shared with the world, so we are letting you in on our secret……true nopal cactus water, the first cactus water to be sold in the UK.
