Mostly I've eaten them cut up in soups and in scrambled eggs. Many people eat them steamed either hot or cold as a salad but the texture is a bit much for me, kind of like okra. They are often put into smoothies or vegetable/fruit mixtures for juice. Candy I haven't tried but I'm sure it exists, they make candy from almost everything here, most of it pretty good. They don't have much of a taste that I can describe, they are very bland. They have a definite consistency, it can be a little slimey. I think of them as a healthy filler. I may not be the best person to describe them, they aren't something I particularly like, I eat them but I don't crave them.
