The Charentais melon is both delicious and beneficial to our health. Rich in vitamins A and C, potassium and fibre, this sweet fruit is ideal for keeping fit and looking after our immune system. What's more, the Charentais melon can be easily incorporated into many summer recipes, whether in a salad, a smoothie or even a sorbet. Its juicy, fragrant flesh makes it an ideal ingredient for adding a touch of freshness to dishes.
To grow the Charentais melon, it is important to sow it from April onwards in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. This plant requires fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of between 6 and 7. It is best to add compost or well-decomposed manure before planting to encourage the melon's growth. Melon plants should be planted 1 metre apart to leave enough room for the fruit to develop.
