Cucumis metuliferus
One of South Africa's unknown treasures, also known as African Horned Cucumber, Kiwano, or wild cucumber.
The flavour changes as it ripens from sweet citrus (green) to a banana/kiwi fruit/citrus flavour when ripe (yellow). This rewarding cucumber is an easy-to-grow variety with a lime-green jelly-like interior. Simply scoop out with a teaspoon for a simple and quick treat for all ages. Add a pinch of salt or sugar to increase flavour.
