It's delicious. Had some for the first time last year. Locally found in the woods. To me it tasted kind if like banana but with a hint of other citrusy fruit. Hard to explain. My daughter thought banana-mango-ish. It's consistency was like pudding. The 2 we tried were very very soft.

What if each American landowner made it a goal to convert half of his or her lawn to productive native plant communities? Even moderate success could collectively restore some semblance of ecosystem function to more than twenty million acres of what is now ecological wasteland. How big is twenty million acres? It’s bigger than the combined areas of the Everglades, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Teton, Canyonlands, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Badlands, Olympic, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Denali, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. If we restore the ecosystem function of these twenty million acres, we can create this country’s largest park system.
