Barbary fig oil comes from the Opuntia Ficus Indica Cactus plant, more
commonly known as prickly pear cactus. Prickly pear cactus features broad,
flat, and yes, prickly "paddles" that bear fruit often called
"figs" or "tunas."
Prickly pear cactus contains vitamin E,
vitamin C, anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, Omega-6 acid, and other
beneficial compounds. Barbary fig oil is pressed from prickly pear figs.
Roughly one ton of prickly pear figs yields a single liter of oil, making
Barbary fig oil one of the more precious oils on the market.
