Pepino is usually cultivated for its edible fruits, but also has other economic uses. In spite of being a prominent crop in prehispanic times in the Andes, interest in pepino was cast into oblivion from some decades after the Spanish arrival to the present. Pepino etymology, prehispanic distribution, and postcolumbian dispersal are presented, with emphasis on outstanding historical aspects. Speculations on why the pepino has been neglected are also given. These include some features of pepino itself together with misconceptions. However, the pepino is today a species of increasing economic interest, and has a considerable potential for future exploitation.
