Why is it Important to Include Melons into our diet?
Fruits Contain Perfect Mineral Waters
Water Rich foods/fruits are Vital to our Being!
Melons contain about 90% water. And not just any kind of water. They're abundant in mineral waters. These specific mineral waters that are impossible to get anywhere else. Don't think that by drinking bottled water that's got minerals in them, that it's the same. It is not the same. Our bodies love fruit minerals because they have a special water to them that can't be duplicated, as they are intrinsically interwoven by the sun. Through photosynthesis. Because fruits have these special 'more absorbable' mineral waters inside of them, our bodies drink them up, helping us stay specially hydrated and especially feeling mineral rich; major minerals and trace minerals combined. We call them organic mineral waters. And it's not the kind of organic we think of today; like organic foods, etc.,. Organic mineral waters come from the fruits and vegetables only. That's why we call them organic, as they're organically extracted from inside the fruit/green/vegetable.
Fruit is Put on the back Burner for more than 88% of us!

How to Purchase Melons
How do we 'know' when to pick out the right, ripened melons?
It's very tricky. Google says melons are in season from June to October. My experience is definitely not that. Since I am from San Diego, California, I've spent many decades picking out melons, not just for juicing but also for eating, and I can assure you, no matter where you live, melons are not going to be in season in June, except for Watermelons and I would venture to say, late June.
Cantaloupes and Honeydew melons will not be ripe until mid August to mid September. After that, they will be too soft and usually bruised.
Melons for Juicing
However, if you're looking to juice your melons with SKINS on or even off, you can juice from June through September. Except for Watermelons. They lose their firmness around mid August.
Cantaloupes, Honeydews (and their varieties) including Watermelons can be juiced well during these three months for sure. Their FIRM insides and outsides juice well but they're not good for eating.
Blending & Eating Melons
Firm melons yield a fair amount of juice. Ripe melons are recommended for eating or blending. The only downside to this is the fact that all ripe melon's skins are not juiceable. You 'can' blend the skins but I don't recommend it because you will have to strain, strain and strain all of the skins and pulp out of the strainer which will make a mess, but if that's all you have, then do it.
Hint: When your Cantaloupes and Honeydews are super ripe, just make sure to scrape the bottom of the melons so you can eat that thin line of green that separates the flesh from the skin. This is where those valuable trace minerals live. And since the melons will be super ripe, that thin part of the melon will be easier to consume.
FYI: Try to eat melons alone, blend alone and juice by themselves. They digest better in the gut when consumed this way. :)
Varieties of Melons
There are many different varieties now of different kinds of melons. I personally love the Casaba Melons, Honey Globe and Canary Melons.
How to Pick?
- Pick a melon that feels heavy.
- Press on the stem for softness but not too soft
- Smell the stem - it should smell sweet and if it doesn't have a smell it's not ripe.
- Tap on it like the sound of a drum, like a hollow sound
- Make sure there's no bruising on the skin or that there's no fungus
- I like to see the skin (cantaloupes) smooth, not ruddy. Another good sign
Enjoy Your Summertime Melon Adventures!
See you next week. :)
Sending lots of love your way

Praise from some of Jay and Linda’s more than 50,000+ Facebook Fans:
“I play/read your information daily, and that is exactly how I eat due to health challenges. The juicing just leads a person into this natural lifestyle, with juicing as the main part of my nutrition, followed by salads, and fruit, very little cooked. I hope there is another book or something along the way, just can't get enough of Jay Kordich.”
“Jay I always felt great when getting more juicing in my diet but I feel that it was also your passion and knowledge as a great speaker that has made me make changes over the years…hope to see you speak in Toronto Canada sometime.”
“I never realized the amazing benefits of living foods and juices and I would like to thank you for introducing me to this wonderful and simple way of living!”
“I just wanted you to know that you have been an inspiration to me. I always tell my family that I want to be a raw foodist like you. I watched you on TV many years ago and what you said about live foods, live bodies/dead foods, dead bodies really stuck in my mind.”
“I've been juicing for three years now. I have lost 35 pounds and went from a size 34 waist to a size 29. : ) I just got measured this last week for body fat which is at 7.8%, Body water is at 66.7% and my metabolic age is 12! I'm open and willing for anyone to use me as an example of what you can do when you put your mind to it.”
“I have the utmost respect and appreciation for the beautiful and clear message you have expressed through your life and bringing health to so many!”
“I just want Jay to know how much I have appreciated the book he wrote—my first one died because I kept referring to it so many times. The pages kept falling out, so I finally bought another one! Over the last 20 years, I have always bought the Juiceman’s Juicers they are and have been the best. I trust the products. I have recommended Jay’s Juicers and his book to all my friends. I am now 69 and moving closer by the minute to the next # but never learned how to count that high. So thank you Jay for all you have done for me in my life—past, present, and future to help me live a healthier life.”
