Description
The Kiwano, also known as the 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 mixture of banana, cucumber and lime. Kiwano is ideal as a snack, in fruit salads or to decorate desserts and cocktails.
The Kiwano, also known as the 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 genus, but is not related to the kiwi.
To eat, the Kiwano is cut lengthwise like a kiwi and the pulp is spooned out, seeds can be eaten with it. Its peel is perfect as a decorative vessel for fruit salads or drinks. The peel of the Kiwano is not edible.
