Did you know that a fabulous melon was once grown in Montreal? Texts that are over a century old bear witness to the history of the Montreal melon, a fruit with such an exceptional flavor that the best restaurants and hotels in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia were fighting over it.
Yet, few people today know about this fruit that contributed to Montreal's international fame. Despite its reputation, the melon disappeared overnight, without leaving a trace.
That was until a few stray seeds were found in 1996. From these, Quebec seed producers managed to revive this old variety.
In this book, nutritionist Bernard Lavallée tells the most complete story to date about the Montreal melon, including information never revealed before! He also shares all the information to grow it yourself in the ground or in a pot. With this book, the author hopes that this mythical fruit does not fall into oblivion and that everyone has the chance to taste a slice of Quebec's food heritage.
