Muskmelon is a trailing annual vine of the gourd family with rounded leaves, yellow flowers and sweet, fragrant fruits. It has been cultivated in India since ancient times and is a popular summer fruit in the north.
Known in Sanskrit as Kharbuja, the ripe fruit is valued in Ayurveda as a cooling, refreshing food. The seeds are traditionally used in cooling drinks and sweets, and are one of the four classical cooling seeds.
