This special plant belongs to the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae) and is known for its unique elongated, oval fruit with characteristic horns. Originally from the Kalahari in Africa, the horned melon has spread all over the world thanks to its intriguing taste and striking appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Introduced to the market in the early 80s from New Zealand, the Kiwano is a true discovery for lovers of exotic fruits. Although its name is reminiscent of the kiwi, the horned melon is not related to this fruit. Nevertheless, they share the stage as exotic delicacies from New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>The firm rind of the horned melon varies from green-orange to bright orange, while the juicy flesh is bright green, studded with seeds. The taste of the kiwano is refreshing and watery, with a subtle combination of banana, melon and cucumber. Unlike cucumbers, the horned melon is eaten ripe. With an excellent shelf life of six months.<\/p>\n<p>This annual herbaceous plant thrives in gardens or greenhouses and adds an exotic touch. The flesh of the prickly fruits, green and juicy, offers a delicious taste experience that goes perfectly with both savoury and sweet dishes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-3\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"c1f363df-43c3-460f-81e8-eb7712492206\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>In greenhouses, ensure pollination by keeping doors and windows open during the day.
