Pepino Melon

This oval-shaped, smooth-skinned fruit is native to South America. Also known as Pepino Dulce, or sweet cucumber in Spanish, the Pepino turns from green to yellow as it ripens and develops striking purple stripes when mature. Pepino Melons have a pear-like texture and a mellow cantaloupe-cucumber flavor.

Simply peel and enjoy. Its soft pear-like flesh and mild flavor is the perfect complement to salty prosciutto or sweet fruits.

Great source of fiber.

Choose bruise-free fruit.

Ripen at room temperature until the purple streaks become quite prominent and the fruit emits a sweet fragrance.
