About Hmong Red
Described as halfway between a cucumber and a melon, seeds for these prolific fruits were brought to the U.S. by Hmong immigrants. When small, cukes are greenish white, then turn yellow, and finally ripen into 10–12” golden orange fruits. Refreshing on hot days due to high water content and mild sour taste. To eat the traditional way, slice in half, remove seeds, scrape the interior walls into a bowl, and sprinkle with a bit of sugar. Also makes a great cooler when mixed with water, sugar, and mint sprigs, served over ice.
