Surely you are wondering: How can they be the same, if they do not look alike?
Are you sure they don't look alike?
Ok! because scientifically speaking, both fruits are from a family of plants typically climbers by tendrils, generally herbaceous and geophytic or annual, with the ovary inferno and the immature fruit of a peponide, that when maturing diversified adapting to different syndromes of dispersion; that produce cucurbitacins that become vegetative parts and immature fruits...
Okay, simple:
These 2 fruits, like pumpkin, courgette and watermelon, belong to a family of herbaceous plants which, due to their different types of mutation in their multiple seeds, can produce both fruits and vegetables, most of which are characterized by a tall stem flower and vines.
Note: the cucumber is a fruit, although it is considered a vegetable in its strictest sense, botanically it is a fruit.
Note 2: it is important to note that, like watermelon, most cucumber (95%) is made up of water, while cantaloupe (70%) is a refreshing food, which keeps us hydrated and low in calories. They also have a large amount of vitamins and minerals, which can improve our quality of life, such as iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur or iodine.
Here are some of the benefits of these fruits:
1- They contain large amounts of vitamins A, E, B6, C and Niacin, K or B.
2- Cucumber contains cancer inhibiting substances such as terpenes, phytosterols or phytochemicals, as well as unique polyphenols, which help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
3- Cantaloupe is rich in vitamin C, which stimulates the white cells in the blood. It is important to note that white blood cells are the body's defense mechanism against infection. Vitamin C also fights free radicals in the body that damage the skin and cause premature aging.
4- The potassium found in melon promotes the arrival of oxygen to the brain, which makes it more relaxed and concentrated, and also reduces the heartbeat. While its peroxide dismutase fights stress by lowering blood pressure.
5- Cucumber is a protector of the gastric and gastrointestinal mucous, because it contains erepsin.
