Winter Melons are also called ash gourds. This is a mild-tasting fruit that’s used as a vegetable in Asian cuisines. It’s also used in soups, sweets, and beverages.

In Tagalog, the Winter Melon is called “Kundol” (kun·dól ). Sometimes, it is also called “puting kalabasa” or white gourd but it’s not commonly used in Tagalog.

This fruit was even mentioned in the most popular Filipino children’s song “Bahay Kubo”. In addition, it is also a popular filling in the Chinese-Filipino treat, “hopia“.

Furthermore, the kundol is also used as an ingredient in the popular Filipino Beverage, “halo-halo”. Its juice is also used as flavors for juice and shakes.

According to an article from TheSpruceEats, the fruit could grow to more than a foot in length and could weigh an excess of 40 pounds. It also resembles a large watermelon with its oblong shape and dark green, waxy skin.

Although the winter melon has a mild taste, the immature fruit is sweet. Oftentimes, the fruit is compared to the taste of the cucumber with a refreshing, and almost grassy flavor.
