pepino melon how to tell if it's ripe
Pepino melons come into season in the late fall to mid-spring, and, as with true melons, a number of things can be used to tell if a pepinon is ripe and juicy. The melon should feel heavy for its size, and sound hollow when tapped, and ideally the melon should be richly streaked with color. pepino melon is a type of fruit native to Peru; although it tastes and looks like a melon, it is not a true melon, as it grows on an evergreen shrub, rather than vine.
