Melon is a fruit with high nutritional value, rich in high-quality protein and vitamins.

Except for the lower content of water and protein, melon contains no less nutritional ingredients than watermelon. Moreover, the content of aromatic substances, minerals, sugar, and vitamin C in melon is significantly higher than that in watermelon.

Regular consumption can reduce the accumulation of fat in the body and help with weight loss.

It is especially suitable for people who feel hot and thirsty, have sores in the mouth and nose, or suffer from heatstroke in summer.
