At first glance, you might think it's a cucumber, but botanically speaking, it's a melon! The taste also proves it: the freshness of cucumbers, but the sweet touch of a melon. The light green to almost white fruits have decorative ribs along the length of the fruit, which, by the way, can reach up to 100 cm in the greenhouse! Edible at every stage, but sweetest when ripe.
