Prickly pears, flesh and seeds

Prickly pears are the fruits of a cactus, and the figures here describe their flesh and seeds. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of fat and protein. Per 100g, they contain 12g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, along with 22mg of vitamin C and 57mg of magnesium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is important for skin, blood vessels and other tissues, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. The naturally occurring sugars contribute to the total carbohydrate content, which is relevant when monitoring carbohydrate intake.
