Pepino

SKU:
$0.00

per item
With its beautiful tear-drop shape and purple-streaked satiny-smooth skin, the Pepino Melon is an eye-catching little fruit. Also known as Pepino Dulce, Melon Pear, Mellow Fruit or Tree Melon; though not a true melon, the Pepino is actually in the nightshade family, which includes tomatoes and eggplants. A native of South America, Pepinos are grown in many countries, including Ecuador and New Zealand. Inside this thin-skinned beauty is a golden-yellow flesh with the texture of a fine, juicy melon and the distinctive aroma of honeydew, pear and vanilla. The Pepino has a subtle, mellow flavor with less-sweet hints of melon and cucumber. (Actually, “pepino” means cucumber in Spanish.) - Available on the 'Other Veggies' page
