How to enjoy this fruit
An oval green-to-yellow fruit, often with brown surface marks. Inside is a large stone with tough, spiky fibres.
Before you try it
The spiky centre is not for eating.
When it’s ready
You can enjoy it firm and crunchy. If you prefer a gentler, sweeter flavour, leave it indoors until it becomes yellower and gives slightly when pressed.
How to eat it
Wash, peel and cut slices away from the centre. Expect a refreshing sweet-sour flavour with green-mango and pineapple notes. Take care around the fibrous stone and avoid biting close to it.
How to store it
Leave whole fruit indoors if you want it to soften. Refrigerate once it reaches the texture you like; keep cut pieces covered and chilled.
