What is a Kiwano?

Kiwano melon is an exotic, peculiar-looking fruit from the central and southern regions of Africa.

It’s formally known as Cucumis metuliferus but informally also goes by horned melonand African horned cucumber.

When ripe, the thick outer skin of a kiwano melon is bright orange and covered in small spiny projections or horns. The inner flesh consists of a gelatinous, lime-green or yellow substance that houses a multitude of edible seeds.

Though kiwano melon isn’t a fruit you’re likely to find in an average fruit basket, including it in your diet may be good for your health.
