Very, very yummy..........yes, that's right, and you may see them growing all over the place and often right under your nose and you get tempted. Be warned, this fruit bites. Well it has all of these spikey doodads all over it and if that weren't bad enough, to eat the fruit you have to get those doodads off. I have seen them captured by a home made cup on a stick device...............Once caught , they are put in a bucket of water to soak. After some time, you get a fork to skewer and hold it in place and a very sharp knife to cut all of the spines off. When you finally think it is safe to eat...........look again. From my experience there is always one forgotten spine. You will be glad to (a) eat it and (b) that you took the time to get rid of the spines.
