What fun! Just figure out where the seam is, give a squeeze, and pop out the sweet amazingly tasty pulp. Has a big pit, but I put the whole insides in my mouth, and spit out the pit. Tastes the same as leechee. I just love these. I live too far north to get them in the grocery more than once in a blue moon, so it's nice to know I can order them when I'm thinking they'd be nice to have, not waiting for that future time when a specialty store finally gets some in.
