What Is Prickly Pear Extract?

Our Prickly Pear Extract is a 10:1 concentrated powder derived from Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear) fruits, sourced from Mexico’s Sonoran Desert. Produced via ultrasound-assisted extraction and membrane filtration, it retains natural potassium, polysaccharides, and flavonoids for electrolyte balance, cardiovascular support, and functional food applications. The 100-mesh powder is ideal for clean-label supplements, hydration drinks, and natural nutrient fortification.

Why Choose Our Sonoran Desert Prickly Pear Extract? 
  • Desert Organic Source: Sonoran Desert organic farm (500-800m altitude, arid-adapted), 100% traceable from fruit harvest to extract.

  • Electrolyte-Rich Profile: ≥6% natural potassium (AAS-verified, plant-based electrolyte) + 3% polysaccharides (immune support) + 2% flavonoids (antioxidant).

  • Gentle Processing: Ultrasound + membrane filtration preserves thermolabile compounds (potassium retention >90% vs. 75% in solvent methods).

  • Global Compliance: Meets USDA/EU Organic, FCC (food), EU Novel Food, and Halal/Kosher standards; cGMP-certified facility.
