Cucamelon
Melothria scabra. Words about cucamelons from friend and grower Michaela Hayes of Rise & Root Farm:
"My happy place. These tiny cucamelons are one of my favorites. Crunchy, tangy and so cute. Originally from Mexico and Central America where they are called Sandita (little watermelon), Melothria scabra aren’t actually cucumbers though they taste like they are."
With an occasional hint of sourness, you can eat them like cucumbers: in salads, as garnishes, and as pickles.
Days to maturity: 70
Seeds per pack: 25
