Last 10 March, MKK Green Thumb Gardeners continue their planting adventure and this time they started in growing wintermelons. Winter melons are also called ash gourd, white pumpkin, Chinese watermelon, Benincasa, Doan Gwa and the list goes on. With the many given names, MKK children identified that winter melons that grow in Asia are about a foot long and has green appearance.
Wintermelon soup!
Since winter melon has a mild flavour and taste, it is such a great vegetable because anything can be added to it for soup or sautéed meals. The white flesh is the part that can be eaten and tastes sweet, with tiny little seeds and can taste a lot like zucchini squash.
Please stay tune for our MKK Greenthumb Gardeners next mission… 😎😎😎
