My Case Study,

Who doesn’t know about muskmelon? We all are acquainted with this delicious summer fruit but may not be aware of its potential benefits. Once, I visited one of my friend’s native village where I saw the cultivation and production of this whitish/orange colour fruit on a large scale. They not only cultivated but also make me aware about many unknown benefits, uses and precautions of this fruit. When I returned to my town, I started thinking of uses and medicinal benefits of Cantaloupe and discussed with my nutritionists and dietician colleagues about its benefits and advantages. I am pointing out here some of the amazing benefits of this rounded shape summer fruit and the excerpt of my discussion with my fellow group members who are from alternative medicine field.
