They are very rich in oil, between 25 and 28%, compared to between 7 and 21% for avocados. The taste is very nice. Main problem is they go bad really fast once ripe, don't keep as well as avos.

(Those were the two flavors that were described in the Jay Bost research papers.)
I grafted coyo on a avocado rootstock earlier this year. And I recently got chucte seeds from Oscar. I am hoping they too sprout so I can regraft that coyo onto its own seedling for safe keeping.
