You need to know some things, compliance with which is extremely important.
Before use, it is imperative that you thoroughly rinse the melon under a stream of warm water and soap. Since in the melon peel and on its surface there are an unlimited amount of toxins.
Do not store chopped or half-eaten melon at room temperature and warm. If at one time the melon does not eat up completely, you must immediately put it in the refrigerator.
Melon is highly undesirable to use in combination with cold water or dairy 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.
Melon is not recommended for people suffering from diabetes, exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, as well as for pregnant and lactating mothers.
If you want to get a melon of excellent quality, then it is best to do it in the season, namely in late August or early September. Melons of later ripening have the greatest benefit, since they are grown without using film coatings, and fewer pesticides and mineral fertilizers are used.
