The nopal, with a hard texture, green color and a spiny body, is found from the north to the center of Mexico. In the country there are more than 100 spices and they have been used since pre-Hispanic times in countless applications.

Nopales can survive a variety of land and weather conditions, from sea level to elevations of more than 5000 m in the mountains; from tropical regions of Mexico where temperatures are always above 10 ° C to regions where they experience freezing levels of -20 ° C.
