Flavor

Similar to very watered-down guanabana, because the tartness is very mild. This mixes well with homemade lemon/limeaid, guanabana pulp, cucumber and adds a fresh green color. Kiwano melon juice is wonderful to cleanse the palate more gently than lemon sorbet. Make ice cubes with the juice to add color contrast in drinks, or mild flavor to ice water.

Don't you think this section sounds too informal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.64.150.98 (talk) 02:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

This fruit is listed with the alternate name of "english tomato", but english tomato is another fruit -> Tamarillo Valugi (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if anyone is taking care of this article, and don't typically edit on wikipedia so won't here. Under "popular culture" section, I'm pretty sure this fruit (or one that looks amazingly like it) appears in the 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes at a dinner table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.64.131 (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Etymology

What's the meaning of "metuliferus" in Latin name? Searching for "metula", I found it means "small pyrmaid or obelisk" [1]. In conclusion, does the full word mean "bearing small pyramids"? --Djadjko (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
