It is indigenous to India. It produces fruits with a light green hue and smooth skin, and white flesh. It is usually eaten raw with salt and pepper as a salad. Since the fruit has a cooling effect, it is primarily consumed during the summer season. It is grown in a range of soil types, from sandy loam to thick soil with an excellent drainage system. 5.8-7.5 is an ideal pH range for crop
