Nové ovocie prekvapuje svojou chuťou: Ľudia si zamilovali melóny vo veľkosti cukríkov!

Prekvapujú svojou miniatúrnou veľkosťou aj chuťou. Ľudia na internete si zamilovali rastlinku, ktorá svojimi plodmi pripomína najobľúbenejšie letné ovocie - červený melón. Svojou chuťou však prekvapuje. Vo vnútri sa totiž skrýva uhorka s mierne kyslou chuťou.

Originálna zelenina preto dostala názov cucamelon. Čo je kombinácia anglického slova cucumber (uhorka) a melon (melón). Dá sa zavárať aj jesť surový, no ľudia na internete ho milujú ešte pre ďalšiu vlastnosť: je naozaj fotogenický!

How cute are these Cucamelons? They're tangy and so tiny! They look like mini watermelons but taste like cucumber with an added dash of lime. #Cucamelon #Organic #Fruit #Grocery #FarmShop #TheGogFarmShop #Cambridge
