      Yes, a very unique skin and fruit texture. I had also read it can be cooked. I tried a few thin slices in a cast iron pan with butter, quite good. Refrigerating the fruit slices is supposed to eliminate the somewhat powerful (but not necessarily unpleasant) fragrant odor emitted by the fruit.
