“While they might look genetically-engineered, Pepquinos come from an ancient wild plant in South America, and are 100% natural. They are just 1-inch-long and 2 cm in diameter, but apart from their size, they look just like regular watermelons. But only on the outside, because once sliced, the juicy green flesh of a cucumber is revealed. They also have the crisp fresh taste of cucumbers and usually served in luxury restaurants, as appetizers, in summer salads, stir fried and even as a sorbet.” w/ photos
