Nopalea juice also called nopal cactus juice or prickley pear juice. He wants it for mom for arthritis and lower back pain. Kind of extremely pricey. Anyone use this stuff?

Never heard of the juice, but I know prickly pears are nice to eat.

They are awesome and if you live near a mexican grocery, they are dirt cheap. At regular super markets, when they have them, they are pricey as hell.

I used to grow prickly pear cactus in CA. Known as Luther Burbank spineless. Famed botanist that developed them for cattle feed. The pear has a lot of large seeds, making it difficult to eat the meat. I can't imagine the one could get juice from them. But very delicious. Neighbors would come and ask for some. I told them only at their own risks. Not easy to work around cactus, even if these are spineless, I had other kinds of cactus growing around them.

Rich source of magnesium and amino acid taurine and flavanoids - wide variety of flavanoids. Mexicans like to fry the paddles. Apparently starchy. The pear is supposedly good for cholesterol.

No wan dthen we get them at the grocery store, the big seeds make it rough eating but they are good. Grocery stores 2 bucks, mexican markets 50 cents
