Nopal

Nopal is a type of cactus, often referred to as "prickly pear," commonly found in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Its pads (the flat, fleshy segments) are eaten as a vegetable and are known for their nutritional benefits. Nopal is rich in fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C), and minerals, and is believed to support digestion, help control blood sugar levels, and promote overall health.
