Uses

<p>Sweet flesh is eaten fresh, juiced or added to summer salads and drinks; the seeds are roasted as a snack and the rind can be cooked or pickled. A classic hydrating summer fruit across Indian households.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Direct sow seeds 2-3 cm deep, two or three to a hill, spacing hills 90-120 cm apart on raised beds. Seeds germinate in 7-14 days in warm soil above 24 C. Train or let vines sprawl with ample room, water consistently while fruit develops, and mulch to keep fruit clean. Hand-pollinate flowers in the early morning if fruit set is poor. Fruit is ready 80-100 days from sowing; a dull skin, dried tendril near the stem and hollow tapping sound signal ripeness.</p>
