Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil

Native to Mexico, Opuntia ficus indica, more commonly known as the Prickly Pear, is a nopal cactus with colorful, edible fruits that house highly nutritious seeds. In many cultures, the fruit, seeds and nopals (pads) are consumed for their medicinal benefits and as a nutritious, seasonal treat.

Our Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a beautifully versatile, light and functional lipid that is remarkably abundant in sterols and tocopherols (Vitamin E).

It is carefully sourced and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this remarkably nutritive, cold pressed oil.
