Health professionals, botanists and cooks see more than a pretty face in this desert plant. To them approximately 350 varieties of prickly pear, species that grows in the wild, are nourishment and medicine.
People have been using the fruit and pads of prickly pear cactus for medicinal purposes for thousand of years, says Patti Milligan, corporate nutritionist for Sprouts markets in the valley. Then the science follows, and guess what? IT MAKES SENSE.
The prickly pear fruit (known as tuna in spanish) is a rich source of the mineral magnesium and the amino acid taurine, nutrient often cited as important to brain and heart health, she says.
It's also rich in flavonoids, antioxidants credited with keeping arteries healthy. The low-calorie fruit is high in vitamin C, calcium and potassium and has little sodium and no cholesterol or saturated fat. Prickly pear is a good source of fibre too.
