Found in a fruit and vegetable basket, so it must be edible.
Most I found were yellow/orange. But, did find some green ones. Very interesting. The horned melon also called African horned cucumber or melon kiwano. It is a one of the cucumber and melon family. Southeastern United States named a nickname as blowfish fruit .It is grown for its fruit, which looks like an oval melon with horn-like spines. The fruit of this plant is edible fruit, but it is used as frequently for the decoration of food. When ripe, it has a yellow orange in color skin and a lime green jelly-like flesh. The horned melon is native to Africa iceland,but it is now currently grown in California, and New Zealand .
