I don't know how to describe the flavor. Not extremely sweet, the ones I had. Maybe like watermelon and kiwi mixed? The best way to know is to try just one and slice it up.

You do have to peel them or scoop them out of the skin. A At Christmas, it's fun to slice them and use them as decoration on your meal plate. You can use them as you would kiwi, sliced in a dish, with or without a little liquor such as grand marinier, as a topping for ice cream or sponge cake, with cheese.

Interesting fruit. I've had them in the past, and I liked the taste.
