I like them. They are the one fruit that I can eat to my heart's content
without adverse side effects. I have one almost every day, often sliced up
on a bowl of cereal. The texture changes. I buy them in small bunches when
they are just under ripe. They aren't very good when they are green and too
firm. Nor are they very good when they get over ripe and too soft.
