Cutting up the fruit from the Tree of Life wasn't so much trouble that Alex couldn't finish cutting it up within the 6 hours allotted to him. He managed to complete his task in around 3 hours of time, perfectly chopping down the fruit to easily consumable, bite-sized pieces.
He ended up with so much of it that, were he to eat just one piece a day, he could do so for a century easily. Hopefully, it wouldn't take him that long to eat all of them.
The inside of the fruit was a dull yellow in color, not leaking any juices from the sections that were cut, but clearly plump and full of nectar.
The fruit also had a core like that of an apple which didn't need to be eaten, but for the sake of not wasting anything, he was willing to consume it all.
He did keep aside the four decently sized seeds he gained from the fruit, which he would have to either keep with himself or grow elsewhere.
