Pepino fruits are consumed fresh for dessert, after peeling off the skin from them. For fruit salads, ripe fruits of a melon pear are used, and for vegetable salads, large unripe fruits that taste like cucumbers are used. Melon pears are used to make excellent preserves, jams, compotes, but they can also be salted and canned. In general, a universal fruit: both a fruit and a vegetable at the same time, or, as they say now, "2 in 1".
