Melothria scabra, commonly known as the cucamelon, Mexican miniature watermelon, Mexican sour cucumber, Mexican sour gherkin, mouse melon, or pepquinos, [2] [3] [4] is a species of flowering plant in the cucurbit family grown for its edible fruit. [5] Its native range spans Mexico to Venezuela. [1]
Taste: Light, slightly sweet, mild. This melon, which is in season from June through October, is wildly underrated. It can offer light sweetness to salads, frozen yogurt, smoothies and even ...
Taste receptor type 1 member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAS1R3 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The TAS1R3 gene encodes the human homolog of mouse Sac taste receptor , a major determinant of differences between sweet-sensitive and -insensitive mouse strains in their responsiveness to sucrose, saccharin, and other sweeteners.
An edible seed [n 1] is a seed that is suitable for human or animal consumption. Of the six major plant parts, [ n 2 ] seeds are the dominant source of human calories and protein . [ 1 ] A wide variety of plant species provide edible seeds; most are angiosperms , while a few are gymnosperms .
The misinterpreted diagram that sparked this myth shows human taste buds distributed in a "taste belt" along the inside of the tongue. Prior to this, A. Hoffmann had concluded in 1875 that the dorsal center of the human tongue has practically no fungiform papillae and taste buds, [12] and it was this finding that the diagram describes.

Neutral evolution in the bitter taste trait in humans is well documented by evolutionary biologists. In all human populations there have been high rates of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions that cause pseudogenization. These events cause alleles that are present to this day because of relaxed selective constraint by the environment.
Cucumis myriocarpus, the gooseberry cucumber, [1] gooseberry gourd, [2] paddy melon, mallee pear or prickly paddy melon, is a prostrate or climbing annual herb native to tropical and southern Africa. [3] It has small, round, yellow-green or green-striped fruit with soft spines, small yellow flowers and deeply lobed, light green leaves.
