Out of stock

1 seed per pack. A little known, edible melon, native to the deserts of Namibia and Angola. The lovely fruits have a sweet and mild flavor, with nutty overtones. The seeds are also edible and are an important food source along with their use in desserts and cosmetics. The melons grow on a strange, heavily spined shrub that grows to a few feet in height and can live over 100 years. Extremely drought tolerant and does well in desert conditions. Rare! #4648
