I don't really understand it, its so bland and the texture is like Styrofoam.

LOL! That exactly what I think it is, though it's not altogether bland. That's why I mentioned above that I prefer it dried because it retains much of the sugar in it. We call it "Champuy" or "Tsampuy". A similar but much smaller fruit is also dried and is called "Dikyam". It's mostly the Chinese vendors that sell them.
