Full Marktcheck episodes including subtitles in the media library: http://x.swr.de/s/13zv ----------- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATERMELONS AND SUGAR MELONS There are two different groups of melons: watermelons and sugar melons. Sugar melons have a lower water content than watermelons. The best known is the honeydew melon, the sweetest is the Charentais, a subspecies of the cantaloup. WATERMELONS FROM GERMANY With a water content of 95%, watermelons consist mostly of water - and are therefore a good thirst quencher in summer. Watermelons do not necessarily have to come from abroad, however, as melons are now also grown in Germany – in the south, but also in Brandenburg. They need 100 days to ripen. WATERMELON RECIPES Melons are wonderful to enjoy on their own – but they are also suitable as an ingredient in various dishes. Chef Eberhard Braun reveals delicious and original recipes. First recipe: sweet and sour pickled melon peels. The chef prepares a marinade of light grape juice, sugar, salt, preserving spices and white wine vinegar. The chef uses the pulp to prepare a watermelon and cucumber summer salad. Finally, a smoothie is made from the cucumber seeds and other melon pieces.
