How to enjoy this fruit
A round green-to-yellow fruit with thin skin and pale, creamy flesh around large seeds.
Before you try it
Do not eat or crush the seeds into smoothies.
When it’s ready
Judge it mainly by touch: the fruit should yield gently and feel soft. Depending on the variety, the skin can remain green or turn yellow. Handle carefully, because it bruises easily.
How to eat it
Cut it in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving the skin and removing every seed. The texture is custard-like, with a gentle sweetness that can remind you of banana, peach or vanilla. Try it chilled.
How to store it
Let firm fruit soften indoors and check each day. Once ripe, refrigerate and enjoy soon. Keep cut flesh covered and chilled.
