Melon

Melon Seeds are best in a warm position and in a well draining soil, such as in raised beds and under cover, the success of a melon plant equals fresh and super-sweet fruit for many culinary uses!

The orange fleshed melons are among the most nutritious of the many varieties of melons we offer. A 100g portion supplies more than half of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and is also a very good source of beta carotene which the body can convert into vitamin A, both of these are antioxidants. Melons are relatively low in calories with 100g (yes the same 100g that you have already eaten) contains only 19 - 31 calories depending upon the variety being eaten.
