KeyzandT try Horned melon for the first time!

Kiwano connoisseurs describe the flavor of the slimy green interior as a cross between cucumber, zucchini, and kiwifruit (though as it ripens, it tastes more like a banana).

Kiwano is a traditional food plant in Africa. Along with the Gemsbok cucumber (Acanthosicyos naudinianus) and Tsamma (Citron melon) it is one of the few sources of water during the dry season in the Kalahari Desert. In northern Zimbabwe it is called gaka or gakachika,and is primarily used as a snack or salad, and rarely for decoration. It can be eaten at any stage of ripening, but when overripe, it will burst forcefully to release seeds

There are many health benefits to the Kiwano or Horned melon such as:
- Variety of essential nutrients (protein, fat, vitamin C, A, B6, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc Potassium, Calcium)

- low in calories, carbs, and fat. High in protein compared to other fruits.
