Black Beauty Melon

Everyone knows that black beauty melon is a delicious fruit, just like its name, it is a beauty, but do you know the functions and effects of black beauty melon ? Let me introduce it to you.

Beauty melon

Black Beauty watermelon is a representative of small-fruit watermelons. The skin of the watermelon is dark green and shiny. The watermelon is long and oval, and the weight of a single watermelon is generally 2-4 kilograms. The flesh is bright red, the seeds are small, and the sugar content is extremely high, generally reaching more than 13%.

West claw fruit

It consists of three parts: peel, pulp and seeds. The peel is developed from the ovary wall, and the pulp is developed from the placenta tissue. In the initial stage of watermelon fruit development, that is, within 14 days after flowering, the weight of the peel accounts for a large proportion of the fruit, and then the weight of the pulp gradually increases, so that the weight gain rate of the pulp is greater than that of the peel. Not only that, the content of soluble solids increases fastest 12 to 24 days after flowering. There is a sequence in the speed of watermelon fruit weight gain: the longitudinal diameter develops first; the transverse diameter gains weight later. It can be seen from this that the development of the top of the fruit is earlier than the development of the waist of the melon. Therefore, the development of the top of the watermelon fruit is a very sensitive area. When the fruit matures, the middle gelatinous layer of the placenta cells begins to dissociate, the gap increases, and a large number of giant juicy thin-walled cells are formed. The peel color is divided into four types: white, green, black, and flowery. The flesh can be divided into three types: white, yellow, and red. The color and size of the seeds are white, yellow, black, and brown. The number of seeds in a single melon is usually around 200 to 300. The above situation varies depending on the variety.

Watermelon can be divided into three categories: early-maturing, mid-maturing, and late-maturing varieties. Early-maturing varieties of watermelon are generally not resistant to storage and have thinner rinds. The time from flowering to maturity is short, about 28 days. For example, early-flowering watermelon belongs to early-maturing varieties, and the rind thickness of this type of watermelon is 0.7 to 1.0 cm. Mid-maturing varieties take 33-35 days from flowering to maturity, and the rind thickness is 1.13 to 1.2 cm, such as the chicken claw gray variety of watermelon. Late-maturing varieties take 38 to 40 days from flowering to maturity, and the rind thickness is 1.4 to 2.0 cm. For example, the frozen melon variety of watermelon belongs to the late-maturing variety. However, the same variety of watermelon may also mature very early or late due to inconsistent fruiting periods.
