Cucamelons: The Most Exciting Fruit You Can Grow This Year

May 25, 2019 by Anya Leave a Comment

Have you heard of the cutest little fruit called cucamelon? It looks like a tiny watermelon and tastes like limes.  It’s probably one the most unique fruits you can find. And best of all – it’s full of incredible health benefits.

In fact, cucamelons have been eaten in Mexico for centuries. They are also known as a mouse melon or Mexican sour gherkin; they grow to be the size of grape.

Cucamelons are low in calories and an incredible source of fiber and vitamins. Cucumelons are rich in antioxidants that prolong aging and rejuvenate cells.
