02  —  Fruit

Horned melon, also known as kiwano, is an exotic relative of cucumber and melon. Its spiky skin not only gives it a striking appearance but also explains its name. Inside this eye-catching fruit are small chambers filled with jelly-like green seeds. These are edible and offer a surprisingly fresh, tangy flavour – perfect for adding a tropical twist to your dish.

“You wouldn’t expect it, but we’re growing kiwano right here in the Netherlands. That spiky orange fruit you usually see in far-away countries? It’s now coming straight from our greenhouse. Took some trial and error, but the result is great! We’re pretty proud of it.”
– Gert van der Wal
