About Kiwano

Meet the Kiwano, also known as horned melon, a unique tropical fruit native to Africa. Its spiky orange exterior houses a vibrant jelly-like green flesh with a mildly sweet, tangy flavor, often described as a fusion of cucumber, kiwi, and banana. Kiwano is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, magnesium, and potassium. It's also a good source of antioxidants, which support immune health and combat oxidative stress. With its high water content, Kiwano is naturally hydrating, making it great for refreshing snacks or enhancing salads, smoothies, and desserts. While it's nutritionally rich, note that its seeds are edible but may not suit everyone's digestion. Widely incorporated into African, Australian, and Pacific cuisines, Kiwano offers both a visual and nutritional boost to your meals, making it an exotic, healthy choice for adventurous eaters looking to diversify their diet.
