John,
Further to your
e-mail have given your idea of using paddy melons a bit more thought
and think this may not be such a good idea after all. Dont let me put you off
altogether and at least try them but suspect the carbohydrate level is probably
only round the 5% level. This means to get 1 tonne of carbo you will need to
harvest 20 tonnes of paddy melons and I seriously doubt that labour and
transport for these would pay. Most melons and even the ones we eat are more
than 90% water and less than 9% carbo. eg. canteloupe are almost 90 water and
just over 8% carbo, and honeydew which have the highest carbo to my knowledge
are 89% water and 9% carbo. Suggest you check out the true levels before
proceeding further. All the best.
