It is not very clear where its origins are, for some it is Africa, or India or Afghanistan and China. But the truth is that there is evidence that it already existed in Ancient Egypt 2,400 BC. It was also consumed by the Romans in the 3rd century and by the Muslims. In Spain, it was introduced by the Arabs. In France, it was not eaten until the 16th century. Columbus was the one who introduced it to America on one of his voyages.
The Sliced melon, seedless and served in trays with 2 slices is an herbaceous, climbing plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It needs tropical, dry climates, rich soils in organic matter, fluffy and well-drained, so melons are imported to Europe from countries with tropical climates such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Israel, Morocco, Honduras, Ecuador,…
Spain is the main European country in producing them, followed by Holland and France. The Spanish regions where melons are grown are: Almeria, Murcia, Valencia, Castellón, Cuenca, Ciudad Real, Madrid, Elche (Alicante).
