In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, I show you how to eat a Kiwano Melon and do a taste test. The Kiwano Melon also know as the Horned Melon, African Horned Cucumber, Jelly Melon, spiked melon and a few other names, is native to Africa. But is cultivated in other parts of the world like the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, and others. It is quite interesting looking, like something you would find on another planet.

To eat it you just cut it in half and then scoop out the green jelly with a spoon. You can eat the soft white seeds, or spit them out. They are similar to cucumber seeds or the white soft watermelon seeds. They can be juiced, eaten as a snack, or in a salad.

There are many health benefits to the Kiwano or Horned melon such as:
- Variety of essential nutrients (protein, fat, vitamin C, A, B6, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc Potassium, Calcium)

- low in calories, carbs, and fat. High in protein compared to other fruits.
