A great colorful capture of this fruit.
I`ve try it once and did n`t like it very much. The taste is a bit like cucumber on the inside color is green with lots of seeds

Very colorful! I wonder how you do eat it?!

[Vesna]

I bought kiwano, but I did not eat it. Pyrrhula wrote that taste is a bit like cucumber (this fruit is a member of the melon and cucumber family).

First time I see this fruit.

Thanks for the comment, @carwyn3! I saw it only once, too. But I read
that it is the only source of water during the dry season in the Kalahari.
