The “Pepino Melon” is a delicious combination taste that enhances your summer fruit variety. It tastes a bit like a melon and bit like a pear yet not enough to put in either one of the categories. It has a nice soft texture that is similar to the melon family yet the flavor isn’t as strong as a Honey Dew or Cantaloupe. The “Pepino Melon” isn’t inexpensive at a $1.89 for a handful piece therefore it’s worth a try but in the long run I’d stick to your standard melons or pears.
