The Treasure of the
Desert
Nopal (Opuntia streptacantha), also known as the
prickly pear cactus, is desert cactus native to Mexico, the southwestern U.S.,
and can also be found in the Canary Islands. It has exceptional nutritional
qualities as it contains several important vitamins and minerals as well as
dietary fiber.
|
Nopal is rich in vitamins B1
(thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (niacin), as well as vitamin C.

It contains bioflavonoids and beneficial minerals such as potassium and
calcium. It is a good source of easily digestible protein, containing 17 kinds
of amino acids, including 8 essential aminos.
Aside from providing all
of these nutrients, Nopal cactus may help provide nutritional support for weight
management diets, as well as detoxifying regimens. This is because the quality
fiber found in Nopal is naturally hydrophilic. The tendency to absorb water
causes the fiber to swell, which in turn may help support feelings of saiety,
and a reduction in caloric intake as a result. To the extent that waste and
toxins may be suspended in water, fiber can help absorb and bind these
substances and support elimination from the body.
Probably because of the critical nature of the functions it performs, the
liver is able to regenerate cells. Nutritional support for such regeneration may
come from sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine, as well
as other aminos such as arginine and ornithine. Less than optimum liver function
may cause fats to accumulate in the liver and this is not considered healthy.
Studies have suggested that substances such as chromium, carntitine and
choline may play a role in enhanced fat and carbohydrate metabolism in the
liver. A flavanoid complex called silymarin, derived from Lady’s
Thistle, is an effective anti-oxidant and has been studied for beneficial
effects on liver function.
