There are certain nuances when eating melon. At first glance, it seems that it could be easier - washed it in running water, cut the melon in half, removed the seeds and you can safely eat it, enjoying the amazing taste and pleasant aroma.
There are a few things to know that are extremely important.
Before use, it is imperative to thoroughly rinse the melon under running warm water and soap. Since in the skin of the melon and on its surface, toxins are present in an unlimited amount.
Do not store cut or half-eaten melon at room temperature or warm. If the melon is not completely eaten at one time, you must immediately put it in the refrigerator.
Melon is highly undesirable to use in combination with cold water or fermented milk products. Alcohol and milk when combined with melon also increase the risk of indigestion.
Melon is a very heavy product and therefore it is recommended to eat it between meals, but not necessarily after meals, but not on an empty stomach.
The use of melon is not very recommended for people suffering from diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, as well as for pregnant and lactating mothers.
If you want to buy a melon of excellent quality, then it is best to do it in season, namely in late August or early September. Melons of later ripening periods have the greatest benefits, since they are grown without using film coatings and use fewer pesticides and mineral fertilizers.
