Pepino Dulce

Solanum muricatum

A solanaceous fruit masquerading as a melon! Often called Pepino Melon, this fruit is mildly sweet and really does taste like a soft honeydew or cantaloupe melon, or like a “sweet cucumber” as its name describes. Very common in tropical and subtropical climates, pepino dulce is a favorite treat and varies greatly in shape, size, and color.
