Melon is the fruit of the (Cucumis melo), and watermelon comes from the (Citrullius lanatus) tree, both originated in Africa. The melon was already cultivated in Egypt during the third millennium B.C., and watermelon can be traced back to the desert of Kalahari, also cultivated in the Nile area around 5,000 years ago.

We wash the fruit very carefully, since they come from the land. We then peel and cut them into dices, they are mixed in the right proportion, added sugar and cooked on a low flame for many hours.
