Everything is used in this fruit with orange flesh, even the seeds. If you feel like a gardener, you can use them to grow other melons. It’s quite simple: start by reserving about fifteen seeds. Dry them away from light for two weeks. Then, make seedlings by planting two seeds per pot, point down. Once the seedlings are obtained, put them in the ground, so that the melon has room to grow.
