Cactus water comes from the pink plant attached to the top of the cactus, rather than the water inside the green husk of the cactus.

It contains fewer calories and less sugar than coconut water, another popular plant-based water replacement.

Cactus water also contains electrolytes, which help regulate the fluids in your body, and antioxidants such as betanin and isorhamnetin — also found in beets and lemons — which are anti-inflammatory.
