The citron red seeded watermelon, often simply called the citron melon, boasts a unique appearance with its hard, white flesh and numerous red seeds, distinguishing it from its sweeter watermelon cousins. Its exterior resembles a small watermelon, with a mottled green skin, but the fruit inside is denser, more akin to the white part of a watermelon rind. This melon isn't eaten raw typically; instead, it's prized for its high pectin content, making it ideal for preserves, pickles, and jams.

Originating from the arid landscapes of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Kalahari Desert, the citron watermelon has been utilized for centuries, not just for human consumption but also as fodder for livestock. Its cultivation spread due to its utility in harsh environments, where it provided a source of hydration and nutrition.
