100% Prickly Pear Concentrate. Make your own Prickly Pear Tea.

You can add one teaspoon of Prickly Pear Nectar to tea (hot or cold) to make Prickly Pear Tea. You can also take by adding one teaspoon of Prickly Pear Nectar to 8 oz. of water, juice or take it concentrated.  No Sugar added!  100% Organic.

There has been medical interest in the Prickly Pear plant. Some studies have shown that the pectin contained in the Prickly Pear pulp lowers levels of "bad" cholesterol while leaving "good" cholesterol levels unchanged. Another study found that the fibrous pectin in the fruit may lower diabetics' need for insulin. Both fruits and pads of the prickly pear cactus are rich in slowly absorbed soluble fibers that help keep blood sugar stable.

Prickly pear extract has also been shown to reduce the severity and occurrence of hangovers if taken in advance of drinking. Nausea, dry mouth, appetite loss, and alcohol-related inflammation were all reduced in test subjects who ingested prickly pear extract 5 hours prior to drinking*. You can make your own tests and see if it works for you, which is the only test that really counts.

The juice contains no preservative, so it needs to be refrigerated after being opened. If you don't plan to use it all in a two to three weeks, we recommend you freeze it into ice cubes for future use.
