The citron melon (Citrullus caffer), also called Citrullus lanatus var. citroides and Citrullus amarus, fodder melon, preserving melon, red-seeded citron, jam melon, stock melon, Kalahari melon or tsamma melon, is a relative of the watermelon. It is in the family Cucurbitaceae which consists of various squashes, melons, and gourds. Native to arid landscapes of sub Saharan Africa, it has been a wild source of nutrition and hydration for humans for an extraordinarily long time. Its fruit has a hard white flesh, rendering it less likely to be eaten raw in modern times; more often it is pickled or used to make fruit preserves, and is used for cattle feed. It is especially useful for fruit preserves, because it has a high pectin content.

  • L'albudeca (Citrullus caffer) és un parent de la síndria, també dit Citrullus lanatus var. citroides i Citrullus amarus. És de la família de les cucurbitàcies que conté diverses carabasses, melons, i carabassetes. La seva fruita té una carn blanca dura, la qual cosa fa que sigui poc consumida crua, més sovint és confitada o utilitzada per a fer conserves de fruita, i per a alimentar el bestiar. És especialment útil per a fer conserves de fruita, perquè té un contingut en pectina alt. A Catalunya també es coneix com a síndria de confitura, carbassa sindriera o Síndria de Can Vilar. (ca)
