General information, not medical advice or a treatment claim. Reactions are individual. If heartburn or reflux is frequent, severe or persistent, see a doctor.

Tips

  • Mint is a trigger for some, so it is meant as optional and sparing only.
  • Use well-chilled melon so the skewers taste especially fresh.
  • How well you tolerate them depends on portion size and your personal triggers.
