Sandi asks various questions, I can answer some:
to peel them, prick with a fork by the ecuator, but lenghtwise, use a
fork to cut off the poles, sliced off. make a cut from one pole to the
other and carefully remove the peel. No, rubber gloves do not help!
If you do get stickers in your hands, the easiest way to get rid of them
is rubbing them in your hair! Sounds funny but it works, and no, they
will not bother you once in your hair.
About the seeds, we eat them.
All of the above from customs in Mexico
good luck
Jenka
