Called Nopales, there are about 114 known species endemic to Mexico, making it a common ingredient in Mexican cuisine. They are high in manganese, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium, and a great source of fiber. They can be used in many ways, whether in juice, smoothies, soup, main courses, or dessert. They can be eaten cooked, roasted, or raw; however, when we eat them raw, we get a higher intake of vitamin C. They are considered a superfood due to their properties. The cactus is full of antioxidants and can reduce oxidative stress, and some research indicates that the nopal cactus can lower and regulate blood sugar.
