Green Melon

The green melon also known as Piel de Sapo (frog skin) has a high water content (90 %), low calorie content (34 per 100 g), low sodium content (16 mg%) and almost 1 g of fibre. The fruit is diuretic, respiratory, eupeptic, demulcent and nutritive. A serving of 100 g provides more than half of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C. Its beta-carotene content, which is converted into vitamin A, both antioxidants, makes it an effective ally against cancer and heart disease. It is an excellent purifying and rehydrating agent. It has a high water content. It provides many carbohydrates, such as sucrose, but its low energy content makes it ideal for weight loss.
