An Italian delicacy (especially in Puglia), these large egg-shaped melon cucumbers! The flesh becomes sweeter and softer as they ripen. Eventually, they turn orange-yellow and are then truly comparable to regular melons. Grow them in a greenhouse; cultivation requires care and attention! It is quite possible that this species eventually came from China via the Silk Road, where they are also popular in certain regions!
Melon Cucumber (Flexuosus group) Elongated, cucumber-like fruits with a firm, fresh, yet melon-sweet taste experience. Due to their shape, we have classified them with cucumbers.
