Melon: calories, carbs, fats and other nutrients

Melon

People “tasted” the melon about 6 thousand years ago, appreciating the taste, smell and ability of the pulp of the fruit to quench thirst and restore strength. Later, healers discovered the therapeutic properties of other parts of the plant: seeds, rind, leaves and roots. However, even today, discoveries do not stop. Modern scientists are finding confirmation of the antioxidant properties of melon, discovering the potential of plant extracts in the fight against diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and skin pathologies.
