Production of organic prickly pear seed oil

Unlike prickly pear oil, its production is tedious, delicate, and complex. The first step involves harvesting the seeds by hand. They are then washed and left to dry on the ground. Finally, the oil is extracted using a high-power, high-intensity cold-pressing process (ideal for preserving the seeds' nutritional values).
