I've heard it taste similar to juicy fruit gum. To me it taste like banana, mango, peach and something tropical blended together. The texture depends on if ripe or unripe. Ripe is similar to an almost ripe peach. Green which is used as a meat substitute is firm till cooked then looks similar to pork or chicken. Like soy it takes on the flavor of whatever is used to season it.
One thing about them, they are real messy to prepare. There is a lot of latex in the outer parts and everything will get covered with it if you are not careful.
