ABOUT ME
I’m a ‘creeper vine’, and belong to the same family as melons. My seeds are easily eaten, and contain properties to lower harmful cholesterol. My fruit is juicy and very low in calories, making me a good food for weight-loss and blood-sugar control
My time to shine
Mid summer-mid autumn months
Did you know?
I’m one of the oldest cultivated crops, as old as ancient Egypt. I’m even mentioned in the Bible (Numbers 11:5)
I’m best eaten
Sliced in salads, on salads, or you can try ‘pickling’ me using lemon juice and honey
I can be enjoyed
Juiced. I have a mild diuretic effect, making me an excellent juice for blood pressure health
