Fermierii din Buzău au dat lovitura cu "pepenele de iarnă": Ajunge până la 20 de kg și poate fi păstrat luni întregi fără refrigerare

Winter melon, a unique fruit at the Buzău Research Station, can weigh up to 20 kilograms and requires support to prevent plant damage. It is known for its long shelf life and is often called 'wax gourd' due to its protective coating. This fruit can be grown in various environments and has a high production potential. In the kitchen, it can substitute cucumbers or zucchinis, offering a crunchier texture. Experts recommend consuming it fresh for maximum vitamin content, as it may aid in treating gastric issues and depression. It can also be preserved through pickling or freezing.
