How to Eat? The fruits, whose peel is completely orange, are ripe. If there is a green part, leave it outside for a few days to wait for it to mature. You can eat it by peeling it with a knife like a cucumber. Or cut the ripe fruit in half with a knife and take one half in your hand. While applying light pressure to the shell with your palm, you can eat the jelly-seeded part by spooning it. Let us remind you that the shells are also consumable. To do this, you must first cut the thorns. Kiwano, which can be eaten by cooking, is also suitable for smoothy, fruit salad, yoghurt and cereal mixes. It is known that pickles are formed and jam is made.
