Long Melon, or what we affectionately call 'Tar' is a summer fruit with enriching nutrients and is considered a humble cousin of the cucumber. Grown and native to India, the Long melon, invariably, belongs to the gourd family and offers many health-improving benefits. For the people in the West, the vegetable is as close to Cucumber as it gets but for people in India this is a native variety of the gourd family which even trumps the popular cucumber at its game! Because this fruit is about 95% water, it keeps you naturally hydrated. In the extremely hot tropical summers, it is commonly eaten to fight heat and also flushes out toxins. Other benefits include fighting cancer-causing agents in the body, facilitating weight loss, and providing an abundant supply of skin-friendly minerals such as magnesium, potassium, silicon, and others. It also supplies the body with a healthy dose of essential vitamins such as A, C, and B! The Long melon is a favored recommendation for diabetics.

With so many health benefits and life-nourishing qualities, do not underestimate the Tar! Add it to your kitchen gardens and enjoy a healthy supply of nutritious produce every season! Shop with us now.

Growing guide for Long Melon Seeds

Planting instructions

Take any container of your choice with at least 2-3 drainage holes at the bottom. Fill the container with potting soil and organic compost of your choice. Sow 2 seeds per spot at a distance of 36 inches.

Push the seeds at least 1 inch into the soil and cover them with soil. Use a watering can to lightly shower the seeds to initiate the germination process. Long melon seeds usually take about 6-8 days to mature from seeds to seedlings.

After the second week, the seedlings will begin to grow into a tiny plant. At this stage, keep only 1 plant per spot. Cut off the small and weak plant with a pair of scissors.
