Pepino

Pepino melon has a soft, edible golden skin with distinctive purple and greenish-yellow striping. The flesh of the pepino is valued for its light, pleasant scent of vanilla and notes of honey. Surprisingly, the flavor is a delicate combination of cantaloupe and honeydew melon combined. Pepinos are often enjoyed in fruit or spinach salads or cut in half and serve individually, topped with a sprinkling of fresh lemon or lime juice and chile powder.
