– FRUIT
Horned melon
Horned melon, also known as kiwano, is an exotic relative of cucumber and melon. Its spiky skin not only gives it a striking appearance but also explains its name. Inside this eye-catching fruit are small chambers filled with jelly-like green seeds. These are edible and offer a surprisingly fresh, tangy flavour.
