Melons are one of earth's natural delights. And those three are just the melons we're most familiar with. Between native varieties and all kinds of inbreeding, including our beloved seedless watermelons, there are hundreds of varieties of melon. Melons belong to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae, alongside cucumber and squash. Depending on the color, melons carry different phytonutrients and antioxidants that make them beneficial to our health. In addition to being a very hydrating food, they also offer soluble fiber and are high in vitamin C, which makes them especially good for immunity.

βThe What's for Dinner Summitβ My favorite part of this summit? It's not built around a perfect system you're supposed to follow. It's built around real weeks -- the ones where the plan falls apart by Tuesday. So when my session goes live, I'm not just teaching, I'm in the chat with you! Wanna talk dinner struggles? Picky kids? Weeks that don't cooperate?
