I'm Really Cool to Look at

I am a native of southwestern Africa representing the cucumber family. Introduced to New Zealand in 1930 and cultivated there for decorative purposes, my popularity began to rise. I am about four inches long, two inches wide and weigh between one half pound and one pound. I have a spiky, brilliant, gold/orange skin with emerald green flesh and edible seeds. I offer up a unique combination of banana, watermelon, mango, pineapple, and cucumber flavors. Often my insides are aborted and my stunning shell is halved and used as a vessel for salads, slaws, or desserts. Sometimes just my top is lopped off, again my innards are gutted and I become a glass for exotic drinks. My strained liquid is an excellent substitute for vinegar, or with a bit of added sugar a great thirst quencher. My pulp is often added to sauces, soups, salads, sorbet, yogurts, or just eaten out of hand. I am rich in vitamin C and I also contain iron and potassium. Mostly I’m just really cool to look at and I don’t bite

What am I?

Durian
Rambutan
Kiwano Melon
Pineapple
