Pepino melons, also known as pepinos or melon pears, are a type of fruit that is native to South America. They are round or oblong in shape and have a smooth, green skin with white or yellow spots. The flesh is juicy, sweet and has a mild melon flavor. Pepinos are typically eaten fresh, cut into slices or cubes and can be added to fruit salads, smoothies or used as a garnish for cocktails and desserts.
 
To store pepino melons, keep them at room temperature until they are fully ripe, then refrigerate for up to a week.
