Ever Tried a ‘Kiwano’?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away — and it also makes for a pretty boring fruit routine!

Why not shake things up and try a nutritious fruit or veggie you may have never even seen before?

Here’s one to try: Kiwano!

This spiky fruit could pass for a video game hazard. Also known as a horned melon or an African horned cucumber (or “blowfish fruit,” for obvious reasons), you only eat the juicy green insides, which tastes apparently, like a mix of zucchini, cucumber, kiwi and banana. Since the fruit is mostly water, kiwano can help keep you hydrated on a hot day, especially since it’s rich in potassium. The fruit also boasts and C and some iron.

Have you ever tried this strange fruit? Did you enjoy it?
