How to eat
The slight sour cucumber flavour of Pepquiño makes it a perfect ingriedient for salads, in stir-fried dishes or simply as a snack. Pepquiño absorbs every flavour, whether salty, sweet, or sour, if you prick the fruit or cut it open. Pepquiño is decorative and adds something extra to any dish.
