It's a cucumber! It's a watermelon! It's…it's…Pepquiños! These unusual grape-sized veggies are back in town and better than ever!

The Pepquiño is a micro cucumber that looks like a tiny watermelon. It has a refreshingly tart cucumber / melon flavor and can be eaten whole with the skin, or sliced. They make an eye-catching cocktail garnish, an excellent pickle, or a wonderful accompaniment to a fresh fish crudo.
