I finally got around to eating some kiwano fruit and am ready to critique it. I'm not a big fan of it.

I like the unusual spikey orange look of the fruit, but inside, it is full of seeds with very little more, excepting some juice and a bare minimum of fruit pulp.

Descriptions of the fruit say to grasp it and squeeze it to pop out the seeds. After doing so, most of the juice goes with the seeds, leaving that bare minimum of pulp. There is not much left of the fruit, if the seeds are disposed of. The seeds are indeed, supposed to be edible.
The juice has a barely sweet flavor, almost bland and the pulp has a similar flavor.
No, I don't think I'll get any more of these, unless there is some suggested reason to use them in cooking.
