"Sabra" and "nopales" both refer to different parts of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) (Opuntia ficus-indica), but with distinct meanings. "Sabra" typically refers to the fruit of the prickly pear, while "nopales" (plural of nopal) refers to the cactus pads (also called paddles or cladodes). Both are edible, but they have different flavors and culinary uses
