in case you were wondering.....

1. 
   
   Choose a kiwano that is fully ripened. It'll have an orange rind with spikes. If you can't find a fully ripened fruit, wait for it to turn orange before eating it.
2. 

   
   
   Cut the fruit in half transversely (along the equator, as shown in the picture). Set one half aside.
3. 

   
   
   Hold the remaining half up to your mouth. Slowly, but firmly, squeeze the fruit from the lower end. Small, semi-slimy sacs of fruit, each containing a cucumber-like seed, should come to the cut surface of the fruit.
4. 

   
   
   Lick or suck up at least one sac of fruit and seed.
5. 
   Pinch the sac of fruit gently with your front teeth. The seed should be between your teeth and closed lips. Suck the sac of fruit through your top and bottom teeth. Your teeth should be pinching enough to hold the seed on the outside of your teeth, yet still allowing the sac of fruit to be sucked to the back of your mouth.
6. Don't spit the seed out into the bowl unless you don't want to eat it. They aren't toxic, by the way, they just don't have any taste.
7. Chew or suck on the sac of fruit, swallowing it once you have savoured the flavour. Repeat until you've had your fill of kiwano!
