lots of variation in fruit size, shape color and flavor...some definitely taste better than others. Not what I'd consider a sweet fruit, I compare them to passion fruit, which can be acid to acid-sweet. Also it's important to realize, timing is everything with this fruit. The first fruits of the season don't taste as good as mid season, to late season fruits (at least here in FL), and if you get them too early, they are no good, and if you get them too late, they are even worse...so you have to get them at the perfect time, for best flavor...you can even eat several fruits off the same tree and notice slight variations in flavor. I think they are best for juicing, smoothies, or ice-creams, it appeals to more people that way.
