Rich in Mucilages, Vitamins and Mineral Salts
Melon is a creeping plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, Cucumis genus. The wild varieties of the melon plant were domesticated approximately 4,000 years ago in different regions of America and Asia and were of great importance in feeding the first populations to establish themselves in these areas. Today there are dozens of varieties of melons with different colors, flavors and appearances, which have emerged from an intense process of hybridization and selection, giving rise to the productive varieties and commercial fruits we know today. Melon is a fruit with a sweet and pleasant flavor, rich in mucilages, sugars, vitamins – among them Niacin or B3, which performs important functions for skin– bioflavonoids, in addition to mineral salts such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and manganese.
