Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia)

Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a flower and fruit bearing cacti plant that has been used for centuries by indigenous Mexican tribes. In the wild, prickly pear cactus grows in desert-like conditions, but it is now grown commercially in many European countries.

Prickly pear cactus is a rich source of flavanoids, including kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol 3-methyl ether, quercetin 3-methyl ether, narcissin, dihydrokaempferol (aromadendrin, 6), dihydroquercetin, and eriodictyol. These flavanoids are responsible for its health enhancing benefits.
