  • The "Kalahari Melon," nature's best-kept secret, emerges from the thick sands of the Kalahari Desert. It is thought that the sweet melon of today descended from Kalahari melons, which have been there for generations.

    The San people of the Kalahari obtained their food, water, medicines, and cosmetics from this ancient Southern African plant.

    The melon fruit served as an essential supply of water for both people and animals. Grinded seeds were combined with water and applied to the face to provide moisture and protection from the sun heat and other environmental stressors. The melons provided a crucial feed for wild animals such as elephants and antelopes, playing pivotal role in the ecosystem.

    Kalahari Melons known in indigenous languages as mokate and kgengwe thrive in most parts of Botswana and are a typical challenging weed to eradicate in small-scale communal farms. Farmers collets these weed melons and feed their livestock. There are also found naturally growing in Central and Eastern Namibia, Northwest, Northern Cape and Western Cape provinces of South Africa
