It is refreshing and delicious to eat Coapetillas in smoothies and shakes, which has also made them popular for their use in cocktails. However, still the purest way to eat them is an entire flavourful experience, cutting them down the middle and taking out the pulp with a spoon.

In addition to eating them raw, there are different ways of eating this fruit without losing its flavour and properties. The most common way is to prepare it like a garnish or as an ingredient to accompany salads, and also for the decoration of gourmet dishes.
