Sometimes deliciously crunchy, sometimes tastes like sand.

Thank you.  I bought one and it tasted like dirt.  No one seemed to understand.

Like most veggies, freshness counts.  And it's very hard to tell when it's past its prime, until you taste it.

I had it once.  Now I can say I tried it.

I've had it in salad.  The texture seems very much like melon.  And not much taste.

[Magic Microbe]

I have never noticed it tasting like dirt.

I've stopped buying it because it seems like I keep getting bad ones. I haven't had one that tasted like sand but the last two I got smelled and tasted "off". So gross!

Not good by itself. It's kind of like celery in that.

It makes my mouth itch.
