Watermelons are a delicious part of summer, but one particular trait does tend to weigh down the summer snack - it's size. However, a small Central American fruit commonly called the cucamelon, which looks like a miniature watermelon, may offer a bite-sized alternative. The tiny fruit is now enjoying newfound popularity halfway across the world from its native Mexico - cucamelons are gaining traction in China. The tiny fruit is officially called the melothria scabra but goes by many names, including the mouse melon, pepquino, and cucamelon. It was domesticated in Central America before the arrival of the Spanish.
