Introduction
To cover as much of the season as possible, we use different technologies to grow our products. These are acquired through our experience in the field of agriculture and are perfected through experiments allocated each year for various crops. The most advanced technology we use is for growing melons, which leads to a diversity of species adapted to grow organically in Romania.
About our products
WATER MELON
Watermelon is a sweet and refreshing low calorie summer snack. It provides hydration and also essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Watermelon is around 90% water, which makes it useful for staying hydrated in the summer. It can also satisfy a sweet tooth with its natural sugars.
WATER MELON WITH BLACK SKIN
When you say, "black watermelon" you're likely referring to one of two watermelon types: the black beauty watermelon or the black diamond watermelon. We'll tell you what either one of those types taste and look like, just in case. Black diamond watermelons look distinctly different from the green striped fruit you're used to seeing. As you can imagine, their rind is completely a dark green-black color. Black diamond watermelons have an incredibly high water content. This means that their taste is quite subtle and largely diluted by all the water. However, they are still very sweet, crisp, and satisfying to chew. Their high in water content means they're perfect for making drinks.
WATER MELON WITHOUT SEEDS
The question is frequently asked (and often incorrectly assumed) about where seedless watermelons came from? Seedless watermelons were invented over 50 years ago, and they have few or no seeds. When we say seeds, we are talking about mature seeds, the black ones. Oftentimes, the white seed coats where a seed did not fully mature are assumed to be seeds. But this isn't the case! They are perfectly safe to swallow while eating, and don't worry - no watermelons will grow in your stomach despite the old wives' tale. So, how are seedless watermelons grown? Chromosomes are the building blocks that give characteristics, or traits, to living things including plants and watermelons. Watermelon breeders discovered that crossing a diploid plant (bearing the standard two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) results in a fruit that produces a triploid seed. (Yes, it has three sets of chromosomes.) This triploid seed is the seed that produces seedless watermelons! In other words, a seedless watermelon is a sterile hybrid which is created by crossing male pollen for a watermelon, containing 22 chromosomes per cell, with a female watermelon flower with 44 chromosomes per cell. When this seeded fruit matures, the small, white seed coats inside contain 33 chromosomes, rendering it sterile and incapable of producing seeds.
WATER MELON WITH YELLOW CORE
On the outside, yellow watermelons look exactly the same as pink watermelons with an identical, striped green rind. So what makes the inside colors different? Traditional watermelons get their signature pink hue from lycopene, the same antioxidant that makes tomatoes and grapefruits red. Yellow watermelons, however, don't contain lycopene, so they never take on a reddish color. Although yellow watermelons lack lycopene, they make up for it in beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that protects against cancer. Surprisingly, the cultivation of yellow watermelons came before pink watermelons.
WATER MELON CHARLESTONE
Charleston Gray watermelons are huge, elongated melons, named for their greenish gray rind. The bright red fresh of this heirloom melon is sweet and juicy. Growing heirloom watermelons like Charleston Gray isn't difficult if you can provide plenty of sunlight and warmth. Let's learn how.
MELON GALIA
Galia melons have a sweet, rich flavor well suited for fresh preparations. They are an excellent source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, vitamin A to maintain healthy organ functioning, and fiber to regulate the digestive tract. The melons also provide potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, calcium to protect bones and teeth, magnesium to regulate energy production, and other amounts of iron, vitamin K, zinc, and manganese.
MELON CANTALUP
Cantaloupe melon makes a refreshing snack in the summer, and it contains nutrients that can benefit a person's health. Popular with children and adults, cantaloupe can make a refreshing, healthful, and easy summer dessert, while their high water content helps prevent dehydration. This type of fruit also contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
MELON HONEYDEW
Honeydew melon has a smooth, creamy white rind with a green cast. This melon is distinctive for its sweet, juicy, pale green flesh. The ripe melon is crisp and is a good source of vitamin C. Each one cup serving of honeydew melon only has about 60 calories.
MELON PIEL DE SAPO
The Piel de Sapo melon is the melon of choice in Spain. Piel de Sapo means "frog skin" in Spanish, and while the rough mottled rind of these melons closely resembles the amphibian they are named after. The melon is shaped like an oval. The thick rind means that Piel de Sapos possess excellent shelf life and transportability and its tough exterior hides a dense, juicy and refreshing sweet flesh that has to be tried to be believed. The Piel de Sapo is different in appearance both internally and externally to a rockmelon. They are green on the outside with creamy yellow flesh, similar to a honeydew but generally sweeter in taste. When you cut a piel de sapo, don't cut too closely to the rind as that's where the melon isn't as sweet.
PUMPKIN
Pumpkin is a plump, nutritious orange vegetable, and a highly nutrient dense food. It is low in calories but rich in vitamins and minerals, all of which are also in its seeds, leaves, and juices. There are many ways to incorporate pumpkin into desserts, soups, salads, preserves, and even as a substitute for butter.
