Melon Fun Facts
Did you know?
- All varieties of melons are rich in vitamins A and C. Melons are also rich in minerals like potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. A one-cup serving (177g) of cantaloupe contains a whopping 108% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C.
- Africa is the continent believed to be the place where watermelons originated over 4,000 years ago.
- Due to their high water content it is not recommended to freeze melons, as they will lose their texture when thawed. Naturally, there is an exception to this rule: frozen melon pieces make a great addition to smoothies!
- Once melons have been cut the key to their preservation lies in refrigeration. Melons should be peeled, sliced into the desired shape, and stored in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated up to one week. However, uncut melons should be stored at room temperature to preserve their sweetness.
