3. Horned melonCucumis metuliferus 刺角瓜（拉丁名：Cucumis metuliferus）
The horned melon, also known as African cucumber or jelly melon, is an annual vine native to Africa, but can now be found grown in California, Australia, New Zealand and Chile as well. When ripe, the melon has a thick spiky yellow outer skin, with bright green, jelly like flesh. The flesh is often compared to the taste of a banana, with the texture of the seedy part of a cucumber or tomato. The thick skin can be eaten and is a good source of vitamin C and fibre.
刺角瓜，也称非洲黄瓜或果冻瓜，是原产于非洲的藤曼植物，今天在加利福尼亚州、澳大利亚、新西兰和智利都有种植。果实成熟后，黄色的果皮布满了粗刺，果肉鲜绿色像果冻，味道可以与香蕉媲美，多籽的果肉质地像黄瓜或西红柿。厚厚果皮也可以食用，是维生素C和纤维素的理想来源。
