WINTER MELON 冬瓜




In my previous post, I blogged about a couple who will be donating the giant winter melon, that is growing in their garden, to charity.Do you know that the winter melon is a vine grown for its very large fruit which is eaten as a vegetable and that it can typically be stored for 12 months. The Chinese stir fry or make winter melon soup with it. According to my Aunt May, the soup is supposed to be good for our health and should be drunk when the weather is hot.

Want to try making the soup? You can get the recipe from http://www.recipezaar.com/9941
