Cucumbers, cantaloupe, cantaloupe, melon… are so familiar, but few people know about melon. In the summer, this fruit is in season and is grown in all three regions but most commonly in the Central region.
This plant is very easy to grow, can be grown all year round, and is adaptable to warm, dry, and well-lit climates. If grown in rainy and humid weather, melons will grow poorly and cannot withstand very cold weather.
Melon is widely grown in the Central region
On the outside, the melon is quite similar in length to a melon, twice as long as a cucumber, with a shiny skin. Melon has a cool and sweet taste, so this is a food that many people use to quench their thirst.
“My mother used to grow a bed of melons in her garden to eat. If you want to feel the crunch, coolness, and sweetness of melons, you don’t need to prepare them elaborately. Wash the melons with water, then cut them whole. Thinly, mixed with some herbs like onions, cinnamon leaves and dipped in chili and garlic fish sauce, you will have a cool meal. To be a little more elaborate, you can cut the melon in half, scrape out the intestines, slice thinly, and marinate with salt to about 1 Wait an hour for the melon to release water, then squeeze out the water. Then add thinly sliced ripe pineapple and mix it with fish sauce or seasoning sauce, chili and garlic seasoning for a delicious salad.
My mother also salted melon like a pickle to eat it gradually to prevent boredom during meals.”Ms. Tra (in Nghe An) said.
This fruit is shaped like a melon, cheap but crispy, sweet, and succulent
According to Ms. Tra, melon is inherently crunchy and sweet, so it is often eaten raw or as a salad.
With pickled melon, you can salt the whole fruit or slice it, dry it and make pickles to eat all year round. Salted melon can be braised, cooked, stir-fried, mixed with sea fish, pork belly, and pork fat. Sour pickles are the simplest to make, just add peanuts, crush them and mix them together, along with some basil and basil.
From a rustic dish in the countryside, melon has now become a famous specialty. At some supermarkets, fresh melon is sold for about 30,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, pickled melon costs about 80,000 VND/kg.
Compared to other types of melon, melon has its own aroma
Having just bought 2kg of melon at the supermarket, Ms. Lan Anh (in Cau Giay, Hanoi) shared: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen melons sold in Hanoi, so I quickly bought 2kg for my family to eat. There used to be a lot of this fruit in my hometown. They’re just as sweet and crunchy as other melons, but the aroma is different.” Absolutely.
I bought it to eat raw and make a salad for the whole family. In the supermarket, they also sell pickled melon to avoid boredom, but I like the scent of fresh fruit better.”
Melon makes a refreshing salad for summer days
According to research, melon contains 90% water and contains potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium, which helps provide water and cool the body on hot summer days. In addition, melon is rich in nutrients, fiber and good plant compounds, providing many health benefits.
