Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Raw casaba melon is recommended during pregnancy as a mild, hydrating fruit. It delivers vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B6 with high water content that assists maternal hydration and kidney filtration. The FDA reminds consumers to wash whole melons thoroughly under running water before slicing. Serve chilled wedges with a sprinkle of lime juice for an afternoon refresher.
