The tropical fruit is sweet and creamy with subtle notes of honey and vanilla. It is similar to a mild melon or pear-like taste and texture. Some describe it like eating pudding. The inside flesh is translucent, smooth, and jelly-like.

Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Best to cut in half and eat with a spoon. If you peel it open you likely will consume some of the waxing layer on the skin which can leave a bitter feeling.
