PEPINO MELON (Solanum muriticatum) is a unique fruit that you won’t typically find in many grocery stores or local markets. It originates in South America around the Andean areas of Colombia, Peru, and Chile and is actually related to eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers 🌶 You can eat pepino melons at any stage of ripeness depending on what you’re in the mood for. Eating them unripe and hard will result in a cucumber like flavor with a refreshing crunch- great for salads! Waiting until they are yellowish in color and soft like a pear will taste like a subtlety sweet cantaloupe melon with a smooth, melt in your mouth texture. The skin is edible and we usually just eat the entire fruit like an apple 😋 Pepino melons are back in season so stop by the fruit stand every Friday-Sunday, 10am-5pm to try one! 📍10900 sw 48th st Davie FL 33328 #fruit#pepinomelon#Foodie#plantbased
