INGREDIENT source
Not all fruits are created equal! We sent scientists to scour the world in search for the most nutrient-rich, colorful and delicious prickly pear fruit. Our nochtli™ SuperiorFruit™ supplements are formulated with the very best, wild-harvested prickly pear fruits and pads found in the Sonoran Desert and beyond.
Our goal is to create a product that captures every wholesome aspect of this cactus that we love: its berry and melon taste, its remarkable colors, and the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other healthy nutrients that make prickly pear a smart addition to your diet.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
We hand harvest and inspect all of our ingredients to ensure they are picked at their peak nutrition and left unharmed and intact during harvest. nochtli is minimally processed in a high-tech, HACCP food safety certified, U.S. facility specializing in nutritious and organic consumer products. Our food scientists and farmers work with our processor to make sure that the prickly pear fruits and pads are handled with the gentleness that retains their nutrients, color, and flavor, and ensure workers follow food safety protocol.
We take every step possible (including steps others choose to skip) to ensure you get to enjoy the peak flavor and nutrition of prickly pear and nopal with every sip of nochtli. After you open a bottle, store it in the refrigerator as you would fresh fruits to preserve the taste and nutrition.
HISTORY OF THE PRICKLY PEAR
Centuries ago, the Aztec people were facing drought and famine. Forced to look for a new home, the Aztecs searched for 200 years until their leaders received a vision telling them where to find a safe haven. Following their prophecy, the Aztecs built Tenochtitlan, "the place of prickly pear among rocks".
Today Tenochtitlan is the site of Mexico City. The depiction of the city’s Aztec founding is seen on the Mexican national flag, an eagle holding a snake sitting atop a prickly pear cactus.
Nochtli™ (nŌkt-lee) was the Aztec word for this amazing cactus plant with its two, nutrient-rich components: succulent nopal pads and beautiful prickly pear fruits. The Aztecs flourished relying on the abundance of prickly pear cacti as a vital nutritional source.
