Pepino Fruit Plant – Indeed a fascinating fruit! Its diverse blend of flavours and textures makes it quite unique. Its resemblance to multiple fruits, from cantaloupe to honeydew, combined with the crispness of a pear, must make it an intriguing addition to recipes or as a standalone snack. The fact that its name translates to “cucumber” in Spanish is quite curious considering its distinct taste and appearance.

The orange flesh with small edible seeds akin to papaya sounds delightful. And the yellow skin with purple stripes adds to its visual appeal. It’s interesting that it grows as a perennial bush, making it a resilient and long-lasting plant.
