Nopal Cactus Facts
According to Wikipedia, “nopales are a vegetable made from the young cladophyll (pad) segments of prickly pear [cactus], carefully peeled to remove the spines. They are particularly common in their native Mexico. Nopales are very rich in insoluble and especially soluble dietary fiber. They are also rich in vitamins (especially vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K, but also riboflavin and vitamin B-6) and minerals (especially magnesium, potassium, and manganese, but also iron and copper). Addition of nopales also reduces the glycemic effect of a mixed meal. Nopales are low carbohydrate and may help in the treatment of diabetes.”
According to epnet, “the nopal, or prickly pear cactus, is one of the major national symbols of Mexico and appears on the Mexican flag. This cactus has a long history of use as food and medicine. Its fleshy, leaf-like stems (cladodes), especially when young, are eaten as vegetables. The fruit is eaten raw, fermented into a beer, or turned into a cheese-like food. Medicinally, nopal fruit, stems, and flowers have been used to treat diabetes, stomach problems, fatigue, shortness of breath, ease bruising, prostate enlargement, and liver disease. Nopal is also a significant source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.”
