Specialist’s advice: watermelons, melons and pumpkins contain more vitamins C and A

Today, the watermelon, melon and pumpkin festival was held at the Abulqosim Firdavsi Park of Culture and Leisure in Dushanbe. On the day, a sale and display of different varieties of this agricultural produce was organised, together with an exhibition of dishes and sweets prepared from it. Residents of the capital were able to buy environmentally friendly produce at prices lower than those on the market.

The main aim of the event is to support agricultural development and to provide the capital’s residents with environmentally friendly produce. Specialists say that proper consumption of healthy food during human development is important for physical growth and for improving mental state as well.
