Due to an acid that can irritate the throat, this fruit is only safe to eat when ripe. Don’t worry! Keep at room temperature; do not refrigerate. Once the small octagonal scales begin to peel away easily, you know that it’s safe to enjoy.
Flavor is similar to pineapple, banana, and mango with a hint of apple pie. It’s delicious!
Wrap in a plastic bag for a week when it starts to ripen to ensure it is evenly ripe.
