Melon cubes from Japan

This year, the transportation of special cubic melons were launched from Zentsuji, Japan. Some local farmers produce these melons, which serve more as ornamental than as fruit – origo wrote after Japantimes.co.

Shipments began Wednesday from the city of Zentsuji in Kagawa Prefecture.

The fruits are about 18 centimeters square and are inedible because they are harvested unripe.

They are trained into shape by a plastic brace that restricts the fruit’s growth.
