This oval-shaped, smooth-skinned fruit is native to South America. Also known as Pepino Dulce, or sweet cucumber in Spanish, the Pepino turns from green to yellow as it ripens and develops striking purple stripes when mature. Pepino Melons have a pear-like texture and a mellow cantaloupe-cucumber flavor.
