Nopal (from the Nahuatl word nohpalli [noʔˈpalːi] for the pads of the plant) is a common name in Spanish for Opuntia cacti (commonly referred to in English as prickly pear), as well as for its pads.

There are approximately one hundred and fourteen known species endemic to Mexico, where the plant is a common ingredient in numerous Mexican cuisine dishes. The nopal pads can be eaten raw or cooked, used in marmalades, soups, stews and salads, as well as being used for traditional medicine or as fodder for animals. Farmed nopales are most often of the species Opuntia ficus-indica or Opuntia matudae although the pads of almost all Opuntia species are edible. The other part of the nopal cactus that is edible is the fruit called the tuna in Spanish, and the "prickly pear" in English.

Nopales are generally sold fresh in Mexico, cleaned of spines, and sliced to the customer's desire on the spot. They can also be found canned or bottled as nopalitos, and less often dried, especially for export. Cut into slices or diced into cubes, nopales have a light, slightly tart flavor, like green beans, and a crisp, mucilaginous texture. In most recipes, the mucilaginous liquid they contain is included in the cooking. They are at their most tender and juicy in the spring.

Nopales are most commonly used in Mexican cuisine in dishes such as huevos con nopales "eggs with nopal", carne con nopales "meat with nopal", tacos de nopales, in salads with tomato, onion, and queso panela (panela cheese), or simply on their own as a side vegetable. Nopales have also grown to be an important ingredient in New Mexican cuisine[3] and in Tejano culture of Texas.

Love it BUT it MAY cause dry mouth?
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Probiotic - Peppermint
I love the mild minty flavor and the fact it is probiotic. I have been using Boka flouride free Nana-Hydroxyapatite since June 2025. At that time, my front teeth had begun to appear somewhat translucent. When I asked my dentist about it I was told it was due to my age (52) and losing minerals & enamel in/on my teeth. After some research, I discovered nano-hydroxyapatite and figured, ‘why not’? My teeth have always been sensitive and my gums prone to bleeding. I have always used Sensodyne and was unsure of changing but I have found my teeth ate less sensitive now. I just had my 6 month check up & my gums hardly bled & my front teeth are far more ‘solid’ looking! The hygienist complimented me on my improvement since the last check up. All I’ve done differently is the toothpaste! I am not certain if the toothpaste is the reason (due to lack of fluoride) for my new symptom of dry mouth but I haven’t begun any new Rx’s. I am thinking it is the toothpaste because the products I found to aid with dry mouth all contain fluoride. Just a heads up.

Clean, unharmful ingredients.
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: A. Probiotic - Citrus Mint
Good stuff. I had somekind of an allergic reaction to a chemical in it, as I do most toothpaste though. Whatever it is, strips the lining of the inside of my mouth. It wasn't as bad as some of the other's that I have used though. I need to find out what it is in the toothpastes that I use that does this, so I can stay away from it. Otherwise, I liked the taste and how good it cleaned my teeth.

Fresh Taste and Super Clean Feeling
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: A. Probiotic - Citrus Mint, Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: A. Probiotic - Citrus Mint
I’ve been using this toothpaste for a while now and just ordered my second tube. The citrus mint flavor is really — fresh but not overpowering. I also love that it’s safe for kids, so the whole family can use it. The fine particles leave my teeth feeling super clean and smooth, almost “squeaky clean” after brushing. It keeps my mouth feeling fresh for a long time and I’ve noticed much less plaque buildup throughout the day. Definitely one of the best fluoride-free toothpastes I’ve tried so far.

Love, love, love!
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: A. Probiotic - Citrus Mint
I love this toothpaste! It has done an amazing job removing plaque. It has helped my sensitivity immediately and I am able to handle cold water or drinks again without any pain. I also love that this is a prebiotic toothpaste.

Quality toothpaste with ingredients you can trust
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Probiotic - Peppermint, Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Probiotic - Peppermint
Good toothpaste. It's a nice light scent/flavor. It's pleasant. My teeth feel fresh after using it. I'm excited to see the changes. I'll post a picture of my before and then I'll update in a few months of my after. I'm so grateful this is a natural product that focuses on replenishing rather than just scratching. I still wish it cost less, I mean 14 bucks for one toothpaste seems like a lot, but it's better than using toothpaste that's laced with poison so whatever. I hope one day they come down on their price. I like that the ingredients are quality.
