summer hydration

The skin is brown mesh pattern,
It is rough to the touch.
It looks good in summer.

Now the problem.
What is this?!

The correct answer is “Mowi”, a kind of cucumber!

But unfortunately I'm tired...
Don't think so!

This is the best time to harvest.

This vegetable is also known as red gourd
It is said that
It looks different from when it was harvested.
There is a lot of water inside, so it's very fresh.
It has less grassy smell than cucumbers of the same Cucurbitaceae family,
The feature is that it is refreshing (・∇・)

Speaking of gourds in Okinawa,
"Hechima" is famous,
Mowi is easy to cook,
(Raw or boiled is OK!)
It is useful as a summer vegetable (^ ^) ♪

It's also good as a snack with alcohol!
