Spicy and sour winter melon with lemon juice

Overview

Winter melon is a good food that clears away heat and relieves heat and can help you lose weight. Every time I eat winter melon, I always think of my sister who tricked me into eating raw winter melon when I was little. There should be no harm in eating raw winter melon, but I just felt so innocent when I was a kid.
