The Pro Melon

The Kiwano as it is known here in New Zealand is the ancestor of all melons, and is also closely related to the cucumber, which taste is clearly recognizable when eating this bizarre looking fruit. Notes of banana and lemon are also present, while the texture is close to that of passion fruit.

Can work very well in salads, as a condiment to other ingredients, for example raw fish, while its exceptional palate refreshing qualities make it great for a juice or a sorbet.
