Yes, you can eat the pads and fruits of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia), commonly known as "nopal" for the pads and "tuna" for the fruits. The pads are often cooked or used in salads, while the fruits can be juiced or eaten raw. However, it's important to properly prepare them by removing the spines and skin before consumption. Always ensure that the cactus is sourced from a safe and pesticide-free environment.
