Couple of pointers:
1) IME the roundest ones seem to be the best for maximum edible-fruit to overall-weight ratio. The flat ones should be avoided, as they tend to have less of the good stuff. Is this even true, or just a misguided observation on my part?
2) Supposedly not good if consumed with alcohol because of its
Diethyl Disulfide content.
3) Drove it back from the store in the boot. Made the whole car smell within minutes. What can you do? It's the price of admission!
In Beijing they can cost about ~RMB25 per 500gr, which works out to be about US$15 per nice sized one. (I have paid double that though, on the odd occasion!).
Aye, whilst visiting my Father in Malaysia, his Malaysian wife was hoping to tempt me to try a bit, but walking around the market earlier that morning with a hangover and smell from the stalls wasn't a great idea.
Though she did buy one for me to try later, but fortunately for me I had been drinking coca cola, and she said because of that, I shouldn't try it, phew, saved by Coca cola :-)
This fruit is definitely one to avoid for me.
