Harvey, are you talking about the center hard and inedible part? The flesh is perfect, soft and juicy without being tough or stringy. Of course the longer you let them ripen on the plant the softer and sweeter they get. This is probably why commercial fruit is always shipped about half green. Just enough sweet flavor to sell at market and still tough enough to package and ship.

Good one Bob! I doubt the next gen fruits will do the same but you never can tell.
