Which Comes Out on Top?
That would depend on two questions:
- Why are you drinking it?
- Can you afford it?
If you are an avid athlete or dedicated runner and must choose between the two, coconut water would be the best choice. Coconut water is higher in carbs, and athletes need carbs.

If you are an average person who hits the gym on a regular basis, cactus water is the better choice because of its lower calorie count.
If you are forcing yourself to drink coconut water but you don’t really like the taste, then you should try the better-tasting cactus water.
However, if the price is an issue, then by all means, continue with coconut water. There is nothing bad about it, and it still beats the heck out of sodas or energy drinks.

Cactus (prickly pear type) is a good friend to diabetics.All meds for diabetes makes me very ill. I control it for past 10 years with fresh cactus. I use the green paddles aka: the green leaves. In Mexico before insulin, that was how it was controlled. You take off the stickers cut it up and boil until it turns a little yellowish. Then rinse cactus with VERY hot water.It is like okra it has a sorta slimy clear stuff the hot water rinses away. I refrigerate it until when I want to use it. I make a salad using cactus, tomatoes, celery, green onions,etc. with Italian dressing. Everyone who has tried it is surprised that the cactus tastes like green beans and it has a light crunchy texture. Also I use it in scrambled eggs, green onions, cactus and either cooked (salad) shrimp. I was taught that recipe by a friend from Mexico. Down there they use shredded dried shrimp. The cactus salad is served in many fine restaurants in South America and Texas, N.M. and Az. South America has used cactus for hundreds of years.
