I had another new fruit today! I love visiting a tropical island...although I found out you can get pepinos in the states...I have never seen them though. I also had lychee for the first time also...Thanks to RP for listing them on a thread, sparked my interest.
Pepinos are small golden yellow here but sometimes they can have purple streaks. I did enjoy the flavor, it was kind of like a very light cantolope taste. Has anyone else had these? I did not eat the skin or seeds but I read you can eat the seeds, anyone know about the skin?
The lychees were very good also--kind of expensive but definately a different taste.

I bought them once and didnt care for them!
When i did eat one I got info off the net and it said "peel", so I assumed they had to be peeled.
If they are not organic I wouldn't recommend eating the peel.
:rolleyes:

I tried a pepino, but I didn't like it, tasted like a cucumber/cantaloup mix.
