Prickly pear cactus, Opuntia ficus indica<\/em>, is an ancient plant that holds the future secret nutrition for man and pets. Ficomore offers its cladodes<\/strong>, also known as \u201cpads\u201d (although scientifically a muted branch), both fresh or dried and crushed into powder.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This cactus has an enormous yet still unknown potential: cladodes contain a great amount of vitamins C, B, K and E<\/strong>, fiber and antioxidants<\/strong> to fight free radicals and boost the immune system<\/strong>. Prickly pear is extremely high in calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and it contains glucids, nitrogen compounda, fibers, chlorophyll, riboflavine and proteins.
These nutrients promote healthy bones<\/strong> and proteins<\/strong> make this cactus a well rounded food. Mucilage contains soluble fiber<\/strong>, a very rare combination in nature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cladodes are a highly valuable yet affordable raw material, naturally vegan and gluten free. They can be used as food<\/strong> for livestock and pets<\/strong><\/a>; in pharmaceutical recipes<\/a>\u00a0it\u2019s effective as a healer for scars, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotector and much more; nutraceutical industries<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0focus on their anti-obesity<\/strong> and dietary effects; they represent a key ingredient in cosmetic producs<\/strong><\/a> as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
