how do you eat these?
I use a rather unorthodox method of biting into one end and sucking the contents out. For the @little-peppers, we slice them in half and allow them to scoop out the inside with a spoon.
Not sure about preservation. We just eat them fresh.
They do have tons of seeds though for saving, or you can just swallow them.
The insides look a little like Passionfruit. I can see why you would want to eat them fresh. Nice that they have seeds to save. Thanks for the info @papa-pepper!
