Pepino. Melon pear. Pepino is the Spanish for cucumber, which is confusing. The pepino is a cream coloured, melon-like fruit with purple splashes, but less sweet. It can be refreshing but may also be bitter. It is a good addition to bulk up a fruit salad, adding an interesting, if mild, flavour.
"Pear apple." Asian pear. Nashi. There are many varieties of this fruit. Essentially it is round, resembling a large yellow to russet-skinned apple, with a crunchy, grainy texture. It is juicy with an apple-like flavour. Best eaten slightly chilled. Good in fruit salads.
