Makataan Preserving Melon seeds are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, fats, minerals, starch, and riboflavin. They can be dried and roasted, and even made into flour for bread or porridge. The flesh can be preserved with sugar as a sweet desert or candy (this is popular in South Africa, where the seed came from), or cooked like any green vegetable (curry, soup, etc.) Here, me and my friends Lan and Kripa are just playing with the slowmo on my new phone, while combining our seeds. #makataan #makataanmelon #preservingmelon #konfit #citrulluslanatus #wildwatermelon #citronmelon #seedkeeping #seedsaving #watermelon #watermelonseeds #roughwoodseedcollection #slowmotion
