Pepino
Pepino El Camino, also known as the sweet cucumber, is a delightful fruiting plant well-suited for growing in a variety of Australian climates. This hardy plant produces oval-shaped, yellow to green fruits that are sweet and juicy, offering a unique flavour profile reminiscent of a mix between a melon and a cucumber, almost like a rock melon.
The growth habit of Pepino El Camino makes it an excellent choice for small gardens, container planting, or even larger vegetable patches. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, typically reaching maturity from December. Regular watering and occasional fertilisation will ensure the plant remains healthy and productive.
The fruits can be enjoyed fresh, added to salads, or used in smoothies, providing not only delicious flavour but also a wealth of nutrients. High in vitamin A and vitamin C as well as folate.
