The prickly pear (nopal) is rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and also contains various sugars or carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins A, B, B2, C, and K, chlorophyll, and proteins. Research on its health benefits shows the plant's ability to promote the proper functioning of the glandular, nervous, immune, circulatory, digestive, and respiratory systems.

It is also known by the following names:

Cactus, Prickly pear, Indian fig, Shovel fig, Opuntia ficus indica, Opuntia ficus-indica Miller, Opuntia vulgaris Miller, Tuna.

Some of its properties are:

Appetizer: Its mucilage and fiber components provide satiety.

Anti-inflammatory: Due to its mucilage content, which helps reduce inflammation.
Antioxidant: The high amount of vitamin A and C, potent antioxidants, protect against cellular damage.

Choleretic: Its content of amino acids, fiber, and vitamin B3 helps eliminate bile acids, which typically convert into cholesterol.
