Flavor Profile: Monstera Deliciosa has a delicious pineapple flavor similar to candy. It's nice and juicy with a mango/pineapple-like texture. It is sweet and tangy!

How To Eat: This delicious fruit starts to ripen at the stalk-end first, and slowly ripens all the way to the tip of the fruit, in segments. We recommend placing the fruit tip-down in a jar or glass, then allowing it to ripen on a counter. MAKE SURE TO ONLY EAT WHEN RIPE. The scales will begin to loosen and fall off. The fruit will be soft. You may be only able to eat a small section per day while it is ripening.

This fruit can cause extreme irritation to the throat if consumed before the scales fall off naturally, on their own.
