Melon Day is traditionally celebrated in Turkmenistan on the second Sunday of August. In 2022, the holiday of this fragrant fruit, which has many useful properties, fell on August 14.
In ancient times, juicy melons grown on the territory of the modern Turkmen land were considered the best treat. Today, Turkmen breeders have bred more than four hundred types of melon, each of which has a unique flavor and different features of ripening. For example, the "Vakharman" variety is considered the sweetest - these fruits are distinguished by a unique "sugar" flavor and medium size.
But "Harrowk" ("waterfall") and "Garry gyz" ("old maid") are the latest varieties. They ripen later than other varieties of melons and can be stored for a long time, so dishes with this juicy product could well decorate the New Year table.
