Chiron Organic – Nutripuntia

The Nutripuntia Prickly Pear is such an innovative superfood powder that brings attention to the powerful combination of science and nature. I have loved learning about the health benefits of prickly pear via the brand’s farm owner who is also a skilled scientist and naturopath. The product is easy-to-add to foods and a wonderful way to support wellbeing and gut health in a new and inspiring way. It’s great to also see the thorough testing of the product’s nutritional value via the Nutrition Information Panel providing transparency of the product’s benefits. How wonderful to learn that the prickly pear cactus is a plant that requires almost no water and can grow in poor soil. Being grown on a farm that is completely pesticide and fertiliser free and abides by the certified organic principles the brand’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices is impressive.

This was the first time I had tried prickly pear cactus pad and I am grateful I did! An organic, neutral-tasting powder with incredible gut, brain, metabolism and general health benefits that can go unnoticed in juices, smoothies or baked goods! I love that the packaging contains detailed nutritional information about the product. It is fantastic that Chiron Organic has created a simple product, utilising the prickly pear cactus, as it requires almost no water, can grow in poor soil and is renewable every year. The brand also uses waste off-cuts in other products – talk about sustainability!

I’m fascinated by the myriad health benefits of prickly pear and was eager to try this product, developed with extensive scientific research. I love that it contains only one ingredient— it easily mixes into water with a very subtle taste, making it perfect for taking at the beginning and end of the day to assist with gut cleansing due to its high fibre content. I also love that the prickly pear is grown and harvested on a sustainable, organic farm and that the company’s employment practices are inclusive.
