Abstract
The cactus called prickly pear or nopal cactus, a tropical or subtropical plant, native to tropical and subtropical America, can grow in arid and semi-arid climates. Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill., generally, is the plant of the family Cactaceae that has the greatest economic interest in the world.
The cactus is used as local medicinal interventions for chronic diseases and as food sources, mainly because they possess nutritional properties and biological activities.
This work comprehensively reviews the phytochemical composition of the different aerial and underground parts of Opuntia species and their biological activities and applications.
Scientific data reveal a high content of some chemical constituents in fruits, cladodes, seeds and flowers, which can add value to cactus products.
In addition, some constituents show promising characteristics as health-promoting substances.
