What is Cactus Water - and why will you love it?

We've long been in love with the romantic images of the Pricky Pear Cactus standing lush and green, bearing vibrantly coloured fruits thriving in some of the harshest environments. It brings to mind exotic travel and warm locations.  And we're confident once you try the range of Cactus Water from our friends at BetterDays, the next time you see one of these desert giants you'll also enjoy thinking of a lightly sparkling refreshing drink that not only your tastebuds will love, but so will your whole body and mind.

Created out of a desire for a healthier drink option the BetterDays team created what has fast become a staple in the households of all of us here at Jade and May who don't know what we drank before it.  Historically used medicinally by the Aztecs and like the popular ranges of coconut waters on the market, Cactus Waters have naturally occurring electrolytes like potassium, magnesium and calcium and are chock full of antioxidants which are of course well recognised for their health benefits. Cactus water however has the added health benefit of containing approximately half the sugar of coconut water. With its fruity flavour with slight berry/watermelon undertones, Cactus Water isn't quite as an acquired taste as coconut water, so the whole family will love it.
