I wash them first,no need to peel,I cut them in half and scoop out the flesh.
I do not eat the skin.
Ate my first kaki fruit tonight. Small, but very tasty. You get about 2 teaspoons of fruit out of each one.
Only thing is that the fruit sold in Playero is very hard. It takes awhile for them to ripen and become soft. I left them in the bag, tied the top shut, and put them in the back room. There were 6 in the package that I bought August 29. At 3 tonight, the other 3 still in the bag ripening.
I suppose the longer they sit in the store waiting to be purchased the less time it will take for them to ripen when you get them home.
I will buy them again. They are quite good. I enjoy having the opportunity to try fruits that I am not familiar with. When I lived in Samana, i worked for Hotel Gran Bahia. One of my jobs was to supervise the nature trail we made in the mountain at the back of the property. There were a lot of different fruits growing on the mountain so I had a variety of fruits in their season that normally are not sold in stores. I miss that.
