Kiwano or African horned melon




I don't know about you but I loved seeing the exotic fruits and vegetables at Fiesta growing up. I was at HEB in Indian Springs Tuesday and I found this beautiful, strange melon. It was pokey like a catcus and bright orange. It said it tasted like banana and cucumber. I brought it home, cut off the pokey parts and saw that it had many seeds and was very watery. It tasted like a cucumber. We all tried some. It has a very unusual taste.
