Uses

Culinary

The fruit is edible raw or cooked without the skin and seed, but normally eaten raw. However, young fruits extrude sap that can cause blisters. Mature fruits have a strong smell. Also, the longer the fruit is allowed to mature, the inside becomes increasingly fibrous. At that point, the fruit can be used to extract the juices, but the fibers make the fruit almost inedible.
