Around the city of Yuxi in China's southwestern Yunnan province, it is picked young and dark green and cooked like a summer squash: tender, nutty, buttery. Let the same fruit ride the vine to full maturity and the rind mottles toward black and orange, the flesh deepens to carotene orange, and the flavor lands somewhere between roasted chestnut and a sweet butternut.
