Buy pepino online

Pepino is a sweet and juicy fruit, sometimes called pepino melon, often enjoyed fresh or used in salads and desserts.

A ripe pepino is fragrant, has a yellowish or pale gold color with purple streaks, and yields slightly to gentle pressure.

Yes, pepino can be cooked lightly in dishes such as stir-fries or jams, but it’s usually eaten raw for its melon-like flavor.

Peel and cube the fruit, then mix with other fruits or greens. It pairs well with citrus, mint, and mild cheeses.

Ripe pepino lasts up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Unripe pepinos can last a week or two at room temperature.

Peeling is not necessary as the skin is edible, but you can peel pepino if you prefer a softer texture.
