Dive into our melon wonderland to learn about different varieties, health benefits, and creative ways to enjoy this summer staple.

How to grow melons

It’s all about the soil. Melons need a rich, fertile, moisture retentive, deep and well-drained soil. Our melons are harvested in the fertile valleys of the Zacapa region in Guatemala and the Choluteca region in Honduras, where conditions are perfect for producing the finest cantaloupes, honeydews, and watermelons.

How to harvest

Melons need to grow for 2-3 months before they can be harvested. Using the utmost care and attention, we select and harvest only the best quality melons, which ensures they are ready to eat when you see them in stores.

Washed & selected with care

Once harvested, our melons are washed thoroughly and carefully inspected at our packing facilities adhering to all food safety protocols. Our packing experts label the fruit and securely store the melons in shipping cartons for the next step of their journey.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

Melons are not only delicious but also offer several health and nutritional benefits:

Hydration: Watermelons are composed of about 92% water, making them an excellent choice for staying hydrated, especially during hot weather. Proper hydration supports various bodily functions and can help maintain energy levels.
Rich in Vitamins and Antioxidants: Watermelons are a good source of vitamins A and C, both of which are powerful antioxidants. These nutrients can help boost the immune system, protect against cell damage, and promote healthy skin.
Heart Health: Watermelons contain citrulline, an amino acid that can be converted into arginine, which helps maintain blood flow and heart health. The presence of lycopene, another antioxidant in watermelons, has been associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
Aids Digestion: Watermelons are rich in fiber, which can promote healthy digestion and prevent constipation. The high water content also helps soften stools, making them easier to pass.
Muscle Recovery: Watermelons contain electrolytes like potassium, which is essential for proper muscle function and can aid in post-exercise recovery. Consuming watermelon after a workout can help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.

Incorporating watermelons into your diet can provide these health benefits while offering a delicious and refreshing way to stay nourished and hydrated.
