Exotic Fruit Kiwano

I'm attracted to the bright orange spiky looking fruit known as Kiwano or horned melon imported from New Zealand At Market Place by Jasons. I brought this one exotic fruit to share with my family today. It is quite expensive at $8.95 each.

It is actually native to Africa but is now grown in some European countries, Australia, USA and New Zealand. It is rich with vitamins and minerals and is part of the cucumber and melon family. It is quite sour like lime and I felt like I was eating big cucumber seed. 

You can read this Healthline here on the 7 benefits of Kiwano.

Be careful of the sharp spikes!
This fruit is filled with seeds. It has beautiful cross-section.
Just cut the fruit into small pieces and eat it like watermelon. Do you see a face?
Each kiwano fruit from New Zealand costs $8.95. I decided to buy one and share with my family as we had not eaten this exotic fruit. Its time to try something new. 
I thought the kiwano fruit is expensive until I saw the Melon from Japan which costs $88.00!
