Babaco Fruit

We are now living in Ecuador and we are discovering new fruits; Here is one that I tried today and simply made a juice with it.
It's called Babaco,
It seems to be the same family of the papaya; The fruit is yellow, long and have a pentagonal shape.


The skin is thin and easy to cut.
In the center there is kind of a flesh looking like marshmallow!

I removed it and cut the fruit in small pieces to juice it.
It's really juicy and looks like a ripe pear.

The taste (for us) is like a soft lemon.
