New bite-sized melons.

For a quick, refreshing snack check out the new bite-sized Pepquino micro-melon. It’s so small and tender you can just pop it in your mouth. At a mere three centimeters long, it looks like a watermelon from the outside but it tastes more like a slightly sour cucumber. The Pepquino was discovered in South America by Dutch food producers who brought it to the Netherlands to cultivate it indoors. It is 100 percent natural—not genetically modified. Not only is it fun to eat on its own, it’s versatile as an ingredient in a summer salad, stir fried or made into sorbet.—Denise Shoukas
