The pears and the pads of Prickly Pear can be found in grocery stores in areas with large Hispanic or Native American populations. Apparently the pads and pears have an ingredient that regulates blood sugar. There is on-going medical research that may eventually help those with blood sugar issues.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-19188668637160333142007-09-16T18:15:00.000-07:002007-09-16T18:15:00.000-07:00I don't know why I am so intrigued by cacti, but I...I don't know why I am so intrigued by cacti, but I just love them, especially yours.
