Raw Cactus

Raw cactus, also known as nopales, is a vegetable that is commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A 100-gram serving of raw cactus contains only 16 calories, but provides 3 grams of fiber, which can help promote digestive health. It is also a good source of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, cactus contains antioxidants that can help protect against cell damage and may have anti-inflammatory effects. The vegetable can be eaten cooked or raw, and is often grilled or used in salads or tacos.
