I just had one and was incredibly disappointed it just tasted like a kiwi without any flavor.

When they are ripe, especially the red skin/red flesh ones or the yellow skin ones, are really good. Problem is most of them sold in the US are very mediocre and tasteless. (Tbh that's true for most fruits, peaches or melons or most fruit I find here are in the supermarket are terribly bland).

I get the better tasting ripe ones in Asian grocers or in Chinatown, I usually follow and ask Asian aunties and grandmas, they know where the best stuff is. But red skin/white flesh is usually disappointing unless you are really lucky, so try the others.
