Kiwano is a rare exotic fruit that looks like a cross between cucumber and melon. For its unusual shape, it has received many bizarre names, such as horned melon. In order to understand and appreciate Kiwano, you need to eat it correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, I would like to say about the uniqueness of this fruit. It lies in the fact that Kiwano can be eaten both salted and sweet. In addition, with the help of it, the pungency of the dishes is set off.
Step 2
This fruit, like many others, should be eaten raw. Kiwano can be cut into slices like an orange. However, this cannot be done with every fruit. If the pulp is too runny, it is better to eat it with a spoon than to cut it into pieces. The only drawback of eating kiwano raw is that its taste will not be bright and rich.
Step 3
Most often, kiwano is added to compotes and all kinds of jams. But it turns out that it can be eaten not only in this form. It is salted like cucumbers! Unexpected, right? And, frankly, in this form, it is even much healthier and tastier than our, so to speak, "fellow countryman."
Step 4
As already mentioned, this fruit is unusual not only in taste, but also in appearance. Therefore, it is very often used to decorate all kinds of dishes, as well as used in setting a festive table. In the first case, you need the pulp, in the second - the peel, which replaces the dishes.
The most common dish with this fruit is done like this: seafood and cheese are mixed. Then the kiwano flesh is laid out on top. By the way, the peel comes in handy for this food. Of course, this is not the only recipe, but the simplest one.
