Our Process

  • Sourced

    We receive our non-gmo sourced nopales from family farmers that have grown nopales for generations.

  • HAND-CUT

    Once in our temperature controlled warehouse, our prepping-personnel begin to trim and hand-cut the produce immediately to ensure freshness.

  • PACKAGED

    Every nopal is carefully cut, examined, then bagged to ensure it is ready to use as soon as you open the bag.
