## Description

Though most people consider the Mexican Sour Gherkin (Melothria Scobra) to be a part of the cucumber family, it actually belongs to the Melothria family. Though it looks much like a tiny watermelon, and goes by nicknames such as cucamelon, mouse melon, and little watermelon, this cute little Mexican Sour Gherkin was more or less adopted into the honorary title of cucumber. As the name suggests, the Mexican Sour Gherkin is native to Mexico and Central America, and had been a staple of the Mexican and Central American diets since pre-Columbian times. It was the French botanist, Charles Victor Naudin, who was the first person from the modern world to have described them in 1866.

## Features

- Appearance: Cucamelons, or "Mexican sour gherkins," are tiny, grape-sized fruits that look like miniature watermelons, featuring a green skin with white stripes.
- Growth Habit: This perennial vine in its native tropical climates often grows as an annual in cooler regions, sprawling over supports and can reach lengths of 5 to 6 feet, making it ideal for trellises and A frames.
- Culinary Uses: Cucamelons are eaten raw, typically picked when they're young and tender. They have a crisp texture with a flavor that combines cucumber and lime, making them a unique addition to salads, pickles, or as a snack.
- Cultivation: They require full sun and well-drained soil, with regular watering. Cucamelons are relatively easy to grow, making them suitable for home gardens, and they benefit from companion planting with corn or beans.
- Quality: All Cucamelon seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
- Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.25" wide by 4.50" tall.
- Promise: Seed Needs will never knowingly supply GMO based seed products. The vast majority of our seeds are open pollinated & heirloom, with the exception of a few hybrids.
- Germination: Seed Needs packets contain some of the freshest seed available. Direct from the growers. If sown correctly, you will begin seeing results in only a matter of days.
- Freshness: All Cucamelon seeds are packaged in tear resistant and moisture resistant packaging. This keeps the seeds a whole lot fresher than the competitions selection!
