CaliWater Cactus + Berry Wild Prickly Pear
Inside this recycled-paper Tetra Pak is a unique concoction of filtered water, pear puree, prickly pear cactus puree, strawberry puree, organic lemon juice, natural flavors and prickly pear cactus extract—all for just 10 calories per 11.2-ounce box. While I'm still not exactly clear what the health benefits of prickly pear cactus are, this is a value-added beverage that stands out on store shelves. I also appreciate the local sourcing story here.
