I grew one out last year and not really worth it. It was Thanksgiving 2014 when my local market had them on sale in an enormous tower at 3lbs for 5dollars. Usual price was 1lb for 5dollars. (expensive!). They had good color and texture and a bit tangy-sweet. A winter treat but still needed that splash of white balsamic trick for a winter tom to be even close to good eating.

This year the packaging changed a couple times and they no longer call them 'Kumato'. I think the 2014 batch were grown in Canada. This year grown in Mexico and not nearly as good and were mealy. Just tried them once.

I just use my frozen garden slices and make a salsa in the winter months.
