It is obvious that melons are not sweet but bitter, in addition to not fully ripe, it may also be the reason for cucurbitacin.
Now is in the melon market season, I also like to eat melon, because the melon has a very sweet smell, which is very different from the watermelon. But sometimes it is easy to buy bitter melons, and attentive friends will also find some bitterness near the pedicels of melons.
Why does melon taste bitter?
Many friends should be curious about this. If you are more careful, you will find that not only melons will suffer, zucchini, towel gourd, cucumbers will occasionally suffer, but they do not appear as frequently as melons. This is mainly due to the production of a toxic substance called cucurbitacin during the growth of melons.
Because melon farmers generally carry out grafting and artificial pollination in the planting process, most melons have removed the cucurbitacin and can be safely eaten. But plants are also smart. If the temperature is too high and the weather is hot and dry during the growth process, melons may secrete the toxic substance cucurbitacin and protect themselves from being eaten.
In addition to this reason, it is also easy to cause melons to produce picrin if they encounter insufficient light and continuous rain for a long time in the process of planting. Because of the lack of light for a long time, the bitter element can not be converted, and the melon will not taste good. In particular, if the melon expansion period encountered a long period of overcast and rainy weather, the temperature difference is not obvious enough to cause melon sugar can not be accumulated, but also produce a touch of bitterness.
There is unreasonable field management in the planting process, and the use of nitrogen fertilizer is too much. Melon seedlings when transplanting root damage, excessive use of ripening agents and other conditions will cause the bitter taste of melon.
For the bitter situation of melons, friends had better eat less, or not to eat. Although the dose of cucurbitacin in melons is not so toxic, it is not good for your health if you eat too much. It is best not to eat melons that taste bitter. In addition, it is best to remove the melon near the melon stalk and not to eat it.
The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
