Product Description
An unusual little edible that is fun to grow, healthy and refreshing to eat. The cucamelon plant produces masses of grape-sized fruits that look like mini-watermelons and taste like a mixture of cucumber and lime. An easy to grow plant that requires support - try training up trellising, or planting in a container with some bamboo canes. Great tossed through salads, or tucked into lunchboxes.
