Kalahari melon is the biological ancestor of the watermelon. Unlike
the common sweet watermelon, the Kalahari melon’s flesh is pale
yellow or green, and tastes bitter. A creeping annual herb, the
Kalahari melon has hairy stems, forked tendrils, three-lobed hairy
leaves, and bright yellow flowers. Although found all over Southern
Africa, it is most closely associated with the Kalahari sands of
Namibia, Botswana, south-western Zambia, and western Zimbabwe.
The fruits vary significantly, from small and round in the wild, to
larger and more oblong-shaped under cultivation. The surface is
smooth, pale green with irregular bands of mottled darker green
radiating from the stalk. The flesh is a pale green or yellow, and
contains numerous brown seeds. In its wild form, the fruit is
bitter to bland in taste, and largely inedible when fresh.
The Kalahari melon is the biological ancestor of the common
watermelon found worldwide. It is a creeping annual herb with hairy
stems and bright yellow flowers. Unlike the common watermelon,
whose flesh is sweet and red, the Kalahari melon’s juicy flesh is
pale yellow or green, and tastes bitter. Kalahari melon fruits are
small and round in the wild, but larger and oval when cultivated.
They have smooth pale green skin marked with mottled bands of
darker green radiating from the stalk. The Kalahari melon is highly
adapted to surviving drought and the harsh light of the desert
environment.
Traditionally, Kalahari melon seed oil has been used in Southern
Africa as a moisturizer to protect the skin from the sun. The rich
yellow oil from the seeds is sold to a number of cosmetic companies
that formulate products that moisturize, regenerate, and
restructure the skin, promote hair growth, and as an ingredient in
soap. The oil contributes to the integrity of the epidermal cell
wall, helps regulate epidermal hydration, and restructuring of the
epidermis.
Kalahari melon seed oil is cholesterol free and rich in essential
fatty acids that are not synthesized by the body, including oleic
acid, palmitic acid, and a high concentration of linoleic acid (*0%
to *0%). It also has high antioxidant activity.
