studies show that nopal provides nutritional support for already normal range blood sugar and blood lipid levels.

“Nopales” or “nopalitos” are the pads of the nopal cactus. People consume them as a dietary vegetable, and they regularly appear in restaurants, grocery stores, and farmers’ markets across the American Southwest and Mexico.

People can sauté them and add them to a range of dishes, including tacos and scrambled eggs, or prepare them as a side dish with tomatoes and onions.

Nopales are also edible when raw. When a person dices them, they resemble a green pepper. Additionally, people can turn them into juice, jams, or tea.

Individuals can also eat prickly pear fruit, which is the small, rounded, and often colorful part of the nopal plant.

Prickly pear fruit juice is a popular beverage for health-conscious consumers in Mexico.
