Melon is a melon crop and belongs to the category of "false berries". That is, a melon is essentially not a fruit but a kind of berry, greatly increased in size compared to the usual volumes of, say, a strawberry or gooseberry.
Melon originated, it is believed, in Asia. It is here that nature itself has created the most suitable conditions for melons to grow comfortably. That means warm, arid weather and soil far from being damp. Each melon plant can give from two to eight false berries — melons themselves. The weight of one such melon can reach ten kilograms. Six months are enough for a melon to fully ripen.
Melon can have different shapes: round and oval. The color of a melon ranges from every shade of yellow to light brown and green. Inside, melons have white or yellowish flesh.
Today melons grow only where people plant them. Wild nature has already "forgotten" how to grow these fruits on its own. But melon now grows not only in Asia, but in Europe as well.
What does a melon contain? First, melon is rich in vitamins C and P, and it has plenty of carotene and fruit sugar. Melon contains fiber, sodium, iron and potassium. Melon is an excellent thirst quencher. But since melon is still quite nourishing, eating it in large quantities is strongly discouraged. Melon is, first and foremost, a
dessert
, so it is better to eat it after lunch. Melon is very good in various fruit salads.
In Central Asia, people learned long ago how to dry melon. Dried melon can be stored much longer than fresh. At the same time, dried melon retains all of its beneficial properties.
