Dr. Oz has come out and said on his television show that it looks like the prickly pear cactus is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. He said that it is such a fiber dense plant that it possibly can remedy diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels.

The prickly pear cactus – also known as the Nopal Cactus — is a native of north and Central America and has grown rampant for centuries. It is believed that the Aztecs harvested the plant as both a food and medicine. Now the plant is grown as a crop around the world so people can eat it as a food for its taste and beneficial health properties.

Nopalea Juice is a great way to get the benefits of the prickly pear cactus. It is naturally sweetened and contains extracts and concentrates from at least half a dozen fruits, such as kiwi. Although many Central American natives continue to drink the juice in its natural form, it is definitely an acquired taste. Before it is fortified with fruit and natural agave nectar sweeteners, the juice is just a green, somewhat slimy concoction. In addition, harvesting the cactus and making it edible by removing the spines is a chore only for the hearty. Instead, it is easy to receive the myriad benefits of the cactus by picking up a bottle of Nopalea Juice. It is delicious and good for you, which is truly the winning combination.
