My way of taking dried Nopal.
My best friend introduced me to this product and I have only been using it for a very short time.  I am trying various ways to take it and find that mixing in any liquid is the hardest way for me.  The best way I find to take Nopal powder is to mix a little in with a spoonful of black beans, veggies, sweet potatoes, anything soft, warm and salty.  Then follow with a glass of water as dried nopal can swell up quickly.  This could be why many people experience a dry, gaggy feeling when they take it without anything to help it down.  Most places recommend 8oz of water.  Makes sense.  Outside of this Nopal is amazing and I have already noticed a slight decrease in my blood sugar....which is the main reason I am trying it.  I tried tablets, but did not notice any changes.  This is different and may take some experimenting to get it easier to take. Not sure it will get more palatable, but I find the soft salty warm veggies work best so far. If this is something anyone wants to try...do some research; contact local natural food stores for info; and by all means please discuss with your physician anything that is taken to replace allopathic medicines. I advocate natural anytime it will work, but that does not mean it works for everyone.<br />After the rambling, I am glad my friend introduced me to this powder.  It smells funny and tastes funny, but it's working and that's the important part for me. Great brand. Great price. Will comment again once more time has passed.
