Prickly pear cactus, also called nopal, is promoted for treating diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and hangovers. It is also touted for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Some preliminary evidence shows that prickly pear cactus can decrease blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Research also suggests that prickly pear cactus extract may lessen the unpleasant effects of a hangover. However, more research is needed to confirm these benefits. It's too early to call prickly pear cactus a superfood, but it can be part of a healthy diet.
It is a vegetable and a cup of cooked nopal has only 22 calories. What more could you ask for given all the nutrients it provides? We can incorporate nopal cactus as part of a healthy eating plan, but it is neither a panacea or the ultimate solution to your weight problem, let alone going is it going to cure diabetes. It is wise to consult with your doctor, especially before purchasing and consuming any type of supplements.
