Kiwano - the "Horned Melon"

I found this beauty at Harmon's grocery store. It was easy to cut into.
-Cut lengthwise and scrape the pulp and seeds out into a bowl and eat with a spoon
-Cut them into little half-moons and eat them like orange slices
-Cut crosswise and squeeze the seeds and pulp out... they pop out nicely

Hubby, son, and I were the only ones here to try it, and we all liked it. It's like a sweeter cucumber taste maybe with a little lime. You can eat the seeds, and they are each surrounded by a sweet gel. It's refreshing! 

Some nutrient info: 3.7 g protein, 18% RDA Vitamin C, 21% RDA magnesium, 13% RDA iron, several antioxidants, ++ 

Look at the tips of these horns! They are very sharp.
I was trying to figure out where to place them in the
shopping bag so they don't poke the rest of the groceries




Such a pretty color!
