Did you know that cactus is a great source of Vitamin C and also contains antioxidants, electrolytes and amino acids including taurine? It’s the hydration secret of the desert and now it is available to consumers everywhere in 3 delicious flavors! ¡CACTUS! is low in calories and contains only 5 grams of sugar (agave). Choose from refreshing and organic Papaya, Lime and Watermelon flavors.
¡CACTUS! comes in 12 oz recyclable aluminum cans and are the perfect way to hydrate before or after a workout or anytime you need a refreshing beverage. Founder Sarita Lopez explains that inside every Nopal cactus paddle is a unique hydrocolloid that absorbs and retains moisture so that the cactus can survive the desert heat. She uses that same hydrocolloid in ¡CACTUS! making it easier to be absorbed and retained in the body for excellent hydration. She further explains that research shows that cactus leaf juice may promote muscle recovery, combat oxidative stress linked to inflammation and may even help reduce the effect of hangovers! She witnessed personal benefits of cactus leaf juice and claims that it cleared up her eczema when nothing else worked. That’s what inspired her to create an organic cactus water made with cactus leaf juice. The cactus used to make ¡CACTUS! are grown using natural rainfall and whole paddles are harvested and used for maximum nutrition and minimal waste. The paddles quickly regenerate so they’re sustainable too!
My family and I got a chance to try all three flavors. I personally preferred the watermelon flavor while my kids liked the payapa best. They have a mild yet distinct flavor that is quite refreshing. If your kids are used to more sugary hydration drinks like Gatorade they’ll still likely prefer those as ¡CACTUS! isn’t nearly as sweet. It’s a bit more sophisticated and will be enjoyed by those with a more experienced palate.
