About Pepino
Pepino, also known as pepino melon or sweet cucumber, is a unique fruit native to South America, particularly popular in Peruvian and Chilean cuisine. It’s pale yellow to purple in color, with a smooth, edible skin and watery, sweet flesh reminiscent of melon or cucumber. Low in calories and fat, pepino is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, promoting eye health and immune function. It also contains potassium, which supports heart health and helps regulate blood pressure. Despite its natural sweetness, it has a low sugar content compared to other fruits, making it a refreshing option for weight management or diabetic diets. Easily incorporated into salads, desserts, or eaten raw, pepino offers hydration and fiber but should be enjoyed in moderation due to its occasional laxative effect when consumed excessively. This nutritious fruit adds a unique, healthy twist to diverse dishes.
