 Who should be careful eating melon?

Persons who have a prescription of beta blockers should consume it with moderation. That is due to potassium presence. Beta blockers can increase the potassium level in the blood.

Persons who have problems with kidney should also pay attention to this. Too much potassium consumption can be harmful to their health.

 

How to choose a delicious melon?

When you go in the market, always make sure to choose hard, heavy and symmetric melon, without white spots.

Nowadays, you can easily buy almost every fruit in every season of the year.

However, the sweet taste and mellowness depend on the season. Before cutting the melon, you need to wash it gently to prevent the risk of salmonella transmission.

What is the best way to eat melon?

One of the best ways to enjoy eating it is to cut it into small slices. Then put them in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Make season fruit salad in combination with pineapple, mango and then put little coconut flour on the top.

You can put small melon balls in a glass of water or lemonade. It will give a nice flavor.

Make your own original “Fruit Shish Kebab” with strawberries, melon, banana, pineapple and other fruit of your choice. Pour with melted dark chocolate or natural (Greek) yogurt.

Enjoy it the summer days with every possible combination.
