About this product
Organic Prickly Pear Powder is made from the fruit of the nagfani cactus (Opuntia), called findla in Gujarati. It is a genuine desert superfood: a fruit that grows where almost nothing else will, and concentrates vitamin C, betalain antioxidants and minerals as a result.
Betalains are the same class of pigment that gives beetroot its colour, and they are among the more potent plant antioxidants.
Key Benefits
- High in vitamin C: which also helps the body absorb plant iron from other foods
- Betalain antioxidants: supporting the body's defences against oxidative stress
- Supports healthy hemoglobin: which is why it is a core ingredient in our Hemoglobin Powder
- Supports digestion: naturally high in fibre
- Supports healthy blood sugar as part of a balanced diet
- Traditionally used for joint comfort and inflammation
How to Use
½ to 1 teaspoon in water, juice or a smoothie, once daily. Its flavour is mildly tart and fruity. Far more pleasant than most herbal powders, and it goes into anything.
Best paired with iron-rich foods: the vitamin C is what unlocks plant iron, so taking it alongside moringa or beetroot makes both work harder.
Available Sizes
50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg. This is a premium powder. Prickly pear fruit is labour-intensive to harvest and process, which is reflected in the price.
