Cucamelon Seeds For Planting, Mexican Sour Gherkin (Melothria scabra)

Cucamelons (Melothria scabra) are tiny, grape-sized fruits that resemble miniature watermelons with a speckled green exterior. In the garden, they serve as a charming ornamental, cascading over trellises or spilling from containers, adding a whimsical touch to landscapes. Their crisp, refreshing flavor combines the tangy zest of cucumber with a hint of citrus, making them a delightful addition to salads, salsas, pickles, or as a unique garnish for cocktails and appetizers.
