Description

Kiwano, also known as horned melon, is an exotic fruit with a bright orange, spiky rind and green, jelly-like flesh. Its refreshing, slightly sweet and sour taste is reminiscent of a mix of banana, cucumber, and lime. Kiwano is perfect as a snack, in fruit salads, or as a decoration for desserts and cocktails.

Kiwano, also known as horned cucumber, originally comes from the Kalahari Desert in Africa and is now mainly grown in New Zealand, Italy, Israel, South Africa, and Kenya. The fruit is characterized by its bright orange peel with spiky outgrowths. Despite its unusual appearance, it belongs to the cucumber family but is not related to the kiwi.

To eat, the kiwano is cut lengthwise like a kiwi and the flesh is spooned out; the seeds can be eaten as well. Its peel is perfect as a decorative vessel for fruit salads or drinks. The peel of the kiwano is not edible.
