  • If you are looking for some interesting fruit to try out, check out Kiwano melons!
    Kiwano melons are like space-aged fruit. They are oval shaped, and have spikes all around them. Large spikes! Let's just say, don't play catch with them!
    They have been featured in space and science-fiction (sci-fi) movies like Star Wars and Star Trek, they are so other-worldly!
    When you first look at a kiwano melon, it's not obvious what you might do with it. In this video I share the ways I came up with to eat a kiwano melon!
    We grew a bunch and had some trouble figuring out how to eat it. Here's what I've got so far.

    I adore Kiwano melons! Love them sooo much!!! Only discovered
    this fruit this summer (2022). A challenge to describe the flavor;
    so unique to me. I can’t detect the kiwi flavor; I so love these though!!

    Kiwani melon tart sounds so good 👍

      I'll be honest, the flavor is very light. I think I'd have to add lemon and pineapple then cover it with the Kiwani Melon.

    I just tried this fruit from Sprouts. I had no clue what it was and I was surprised when I cut it in half. First taste I thought it tasted like lime/aloe/citrusy. I think I will turn the rest into some juice.

      It has been used in several movies and TV shows, including Star Wars and Star Trek.

      I juice it with other veggies. Skin, flesh, are the healthiest. Watch health benefits of kiwano fruit on youtube. It is a hardy plant and grow in desert like places NOT in soil rich gardens with plenty water. And greenhouses. It will take over your garden with to many leaves and less fruit. So plant it in it's own space and leave it. Let the rain water it. That's it.

      @@ednafourie1248 Good to know! My brother had grown them, so I had a TON. Not sure when I'll get that quantity again.

    Its easier to just cut in half and eat with a spoon

      I'm just thinking they might make a really nice dessert if frozen and topped with ice cream, or perhaps as topping for ice cream.

    Literally mutilated that Kiwano. Just use a chefs knife and slice in half. Squeeze the halves into a small bowl..

    Healthiest part are the skin and flesh.
