THE HORNED MELON

The horned melon, also called African horned cucumber, is an annual vine in the cucumber and melon family. It is considered to be the ancestor of the other cultivated melons.

It grows naturally in the fields and also in the bush. However, some people leave some to rot in the fields for the next summer's seeds/plants.

As traditional food plant in Africa, this fruit is potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable land care. Along with the Gemsbok cucumber, it is the only source of water during the dry season in the Kalahari Desert. Despite the fruits colorful appearance, it is not found any significant uses in Western cuisine and been called "astringent", and the price is "exorbitant".
