10 Giant White Winter Melon Seeds

Winter Melon is a white-fleshed melon that is covered in a fuzzy coating of fine hairs when young and a waxy coating when mature. White Skin Giant Winter Melon can grow up to 30 lbs at maturity.

This versatile melon originated in South Asia and is popular in Eastern continents where it is recognized for its medicinal properties. It is often cooked in soups and stews, stir-fries, and can also be candied or made into sweet tea.

It is one of the few vegetables available during winter in areas of deciduous vegetation in the East and has a long shelf life.

In traditional Eastern and Ayurveda medicine, winter melon has been used to improve digestive function, help reduce symptoms of asthma and other lung problems, and is also used as a diuretic to aid in flushing toxins from the body naturally.
