And, opening them up is a PAIN. hammer and chisel? hacksaw? the shell is hard and woody and super bitter. if you don't open it right, you taint the fruit with it. Anyway, worth a try. @ sue's not dibruno. UP to $10 a lb? try $17 a lb at Sue’s Produce- which has them frequently. or $29 a lb @ DiBruno brothers, across the street.
