The Kiwano is a member of the melon and cucumber family. The fruit is native to southern and central Africa. The fruit is oval and has a hard orange skin with little horns. The fruit contains a green flesh and edible seeds. The taste of the kiwano is a combination of banana, melon, cucumber and lime.
The surface of the kiwano is covered with little horns, which explains why the kiwano is called horned melon.
The flesh, which is eaten raw, is sweet. It is commonly eaten on its own, but is also delicious in salads and desserts or as a juice.
