The Kiwano is a member of the melon and cucumber family. The fruit is native to southern and central Africa. The fruit is oval and has a hard orange skin with little horns. The fruit contains a green flesh and  edible seeds. The taste of the kiwano is a combination of banana, melon, cucumber and lime.

The surface of the kiwano is covered with little horns, which explains why the kiwano is called horned melon.

 

The  flesh, which is eaten raw, is sweet. It is commonly eaten on its own, but is also delicious in salads and desserts or as a juice.

  • Although the name might suggest otherwise the Kiwano is not related to the Kiwi.
  • The name "Kiwano" is trademarked by New Zealanders
A middle sized kiwano (about 100g) contains approx 25 calories and no fat.
 
8 Seeds per pack.  All Growing instructions included.
