Prickly pear (also known as India Fig Opuntia or Barbary Fig) comes from the Opuntia Ficus Indica plant. Grown deep in the heart of Morocco, the cactus plant that produces the prickly pear fruit is called the miracle plant for its ability to survive during long droughts and still produce healthy fruit. This cactus plant grows in open fields without exposure to fertilizers or pesticides. The oil from the seeds of the fruit becomes the priceless oil. This oil has been used by generations of Berber women to fend off the effects of dry desert conditions.
