White Melon Seeds from Phnom Penh

　　White Melon Seeds from Phnom Penh come from a type of pumpkin commonly known as "Kanpi Melon." They are a specialty of Lugu Lake and are only produced abundantly in this region of China. The seeds themselves are pure white, with a unique golden-edged rim around the seed coat, resembling a traditional Mosuo garment trimmed with gold—hence the name "White Melon Seeds from Phnom Penh." These seeds are not only large, plump, and nutrient-rich, but also crispy and delicious when roasted, offering a distinctive flavor. They make an excellent gift for guests or as a present for family and friends, and they are also the best raw material for oil pressing. Today, they have become an important export commodity, renowned both domestically and internationally. The annual production in the Lugu Lake area exceeds 100,000 kilograms. Aside from the economic value of the white melon seeds, the flesh of the "Kanpi Melon" grown around Lugu Lake can also be processed into melon sausages, which can be further made into delicacies after drying. It can also be used to feed livestock. According to experts, the melon flesh contains a variety of vitamins and nutrients, making it one of the tourist products of Lugu Lake.
