Melons (Pepino)

  • PRODUCT INFO


    The flesh of the Pepino is quite fragrant with a taste that combines the flavors of cantaloupe, honeydew and just a hint of cucumber. They are often enjoyed in fruit salads or simply served individually topped with a sprinkling of fresh lemon or lime juice. Sometimes known as mellowfruit, bush melon or treemelon; the Pepino once native only to Peru is now produced in New Zealand and Equador.
