Gac Melon

Gấc (botanical name: Momordica cochinchinensis) is a type of perennial melon grown throughout Southeast Asian countries and Northeastern Australia. Gấc grows as dioecious vines, meaning its male and female flowers are on separate plants, producing flowers typically 5–10 centimeters in length. Its vines can extend to 20 meters (70 ft) long, and its flowers bloom once a year, single or in bundles, around two to three months after the vines are planted. In one season, a plant can produce from 30 to 60 fruits.

This is a little melon with bright orange skin covered in numerous tiny spikes. An edible coating of light orange to yellow is seen in the interior first. It is typically not consumed. The juicy, meaty, crimson portion that is dotted with seeds is the section that is sought. You must make an effort to consume the sweet fruit without eating the seeds, just like with a watermelon.
