About African cucumber
The African cucumber, also known as kiwano or horned melon, is a vibrant fruit native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Its spiky orange rind encases a jelly-like green interior filled with edible seeds. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it is a good source of vitamin C, iron, and magnesium, alongside antioxidants that support immune health and combat free radicals. Low in calories and high in water content, it aids hydration and can be a beneficial snack for weight management. Though naturally sweet and slightly tangy, its mild flavor makes it versatile for desserts, smoothies, or savory dishes across global cuisines. Despite its health benefits, those watching sugar intake should consume it in moderation due to its natural fructose content. With its striking appearance and nutrient-packed profile, the African cucumber brings both aesthetic charm and dietary value to the table.
