Add NOPAL® …
make it healthier

We are producers of 100% dehydrated Prickly Pear cactus pad powder and snacks.

PLEASE READ THIS WARNING SINCE THERE ARE PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET TRYING TO COPY OUR NAME BUT THEIR CACTUS POWDER IS ADULTERATED WITH CORN STARCH.

OUR products, ANCIENT PURITY’S & MAYA MEXICAN FOOD, ARE THE ONLY ONES IN THE MARKET 100% NOPAL CACTUS PAD AND NOTHING ELSE

The cactus species Opuntia Ficus Indica is endemic to México and the pads of this cactus are commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is also known as Prickly Pear cactus. In México we colloquially call it NOPAL. We have been eating it for over a thousand years and is even in the Mexican coat of arms. It has a slightly tangy flavour and a firm, crunchy texture when cooked. Nopal is typically prepared by removing the spines, slicing the pads, and either grilling, sautéing, or adding them to soups, salads, fresh juices and tacos.

There are over 100 varieties of prickly pear cactus. We have researched for more than 20 years the edible variety to dehydrate and finely grind, keeping all the benefits, in order to add it to any food or drink you like. Some people are used to eating the Prickly Pear fruit which we call “la tuna” which is full of antioxidants. However, we work with the pad.

Our product is actually a vegetable, not a fruit. Our Nopal pads are full of calcium and soluble fibre.

The great advantage of the process we have developed is that we manage to keep all the fibre, calcium and GLP1 in our 100% NOPAL® cactus pad powder. The amount of micronutrients as vitamin C, Magnesium, Potassium & Phosphorus varies according to the age of the pad and the time of the year is harvested. This is an INGREDIENT not a supplement, it is the real cactus pad!

100% NOPAL® powder is FREE FROM GLUTEN, KETO & VEGAN approved and greatly valued for its health benefits. It’s rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C), calcium, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants. It is often consumed for its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels, improve digestion, and support weight loss. You may also see it in juices, tortillas, pastries, smoothies, supplements and even skin care, specially for burns and rescue masks, since it is all about cell regeneration.

 If you would like to try our 100% Nopal ® powder you will quickly learn how truly versatile it is! You can add it to smoothies, drinks, tortillas, all kinds of cakes, pizzas, crepes, cookies, and pastries too! Add it to any food you want to make healthier. If that interests you or if you would like to introduce Nopal creations in your restaurant or coffee shop, we would love to hear from you!
