Cactus

Organic Cactus Water, already available in fine grocery stores throughout the Southwest United States, is now also available nationwide on Amazon. Powered by USDA-certified organic nopal cactus leaf, ¡CACTUS! contains antioxidants, electrolytes, and amino acids to form a uniquely powerful hydrocolloid that promotes absorption and retention in the body. ¡CACTUS!, known as the Desert Hydrator, is available in lime, papaya, and watermelon flavors and is low in sugar and calories.

“We’re one of very few cactus waters on the market that is produced from the cactus leaf rather than prickly pear,” says founder Sarita Lopez. “The cactus leaf contains antioxidants, betalains, electrolytes, and amino acids. When combined with water, the result is a light, clean, refreshing hydration source, excellent for the body in hot conditions or after an intense workout.” Lopez first discovered the health benefits of cactus water while working on her family’s Napa-based organic farm, where health-conscious locals would buy her cactus leaves to use as a juicing ingredient. The hydrocolloid in nopal cactus leaf binds to water and acts like a sponge. It is what gives the cactus the ability to absorb and retain water and micronutrients and survive in the scorching desert heat.

¡CACTUS! contains this same hydrocolloid, which boosts hydration, absorption, and retention in the human body. ¡CACTUS! is available on Amazon and in select grocery stores throughout the Southwest, including H-E-B and Raleys.
