Cucamelons are a unique fruit that can be identified by their grape-sized shape and green color. They offer many health benefits due to the fact they contain fiber, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A & C!
This fruit has been found to improve health in various ways.
Here are just some of them:
Cucamelons can prevent strokes, keep the body tissues and organs healthy. They also improve heart health due to their high lycopene content. Eating cucamelons can stimulate weight loss, and delay the aging process as well.
Cucamelons are also rich in potassium, vitamin C and a host of other nutrients that help lower cholesterol levels.
What’s more you can grow cucamelons at home or get an endless supply by growing them outdoors!
Here is all you have to do:
Cucamelons are easy to find, but it’s important that you know the right stores. They can be found online or at your local farmers market—look out for cucumbers labeled “organic” and free of pesticides! If none exist in-person then buy some organic seeds from an trustworthy source.
If you have a cucamelon at home, extract the seeds from it and place them in water for one week. Afterward rinse off any excess sap with paper towel to get rid of any bacteria before drying completely. Store these dry seeds away safely!
You can plant the cucamelons between April and May, in a pot kept indoors. Make sure you leave 12-square inches (or 4 square centimeters) between each seedling; it’s also best if they’re exposed for 6 hours of direct sunlight daily!
The cucamelon is a vining plant, which means that it can grow up to 10 feet tall and have small trellises or wire cages keep the stem steady.
The soil needs to be nutrient-rich and easily drained, made of compost or manure. Add a tablespoon 6 -10 -10 analysis fertilizer into each planted fruit, then add small lava rocks in the pots for better drainage! After two months of the planting date, add 3 inches of side dressing every month.
Cucamelons are a low-maintenance but super tasty flower. They require just an inch of water to stay healthy every five days or so, and they will love you if their soil is kept slightly wet with mulch placed around them in winter months when temperatures drop below freezing!
Cucamelons are resistant to both pests and diseases risks, and reseed on their own.
Harvest the fruits in July, as soon as they are grown to their full capacity or the size of a grape right off the tree. The harvesting season ends mid-November.
Then, just eat them raw or add a little crunch to your salads for an extra-healthy flavor!
