Melon Slice

Melon is a food item that can be eaten by the player.

Obtaining
Melons can be obtained from melon blocks or by trading with villagers.

Drops
Melons drop from melon blocks which generate naturally in jungles or can be grown from melon seeds found in chests in dungeons or abandoned mine shafts.

Each melon block normally drops 3 to 7 melons when broken or pushed by a piston. Breaking a melon block with a tool with the Fortune enchantment will increase the potential number of drops by 1 per level, to a maximum of 9 melons.

Trading
Villager farmers may offer to sell melon in exchange for emeralds. 5 to 8 melon can be bought per emerald.

Usage
Eating a melon restores 2 points of hunger and 1.2 points of hunger saturation.

Trivia

 * Making melon slices into a melon block is inefficient as you use 9 melon slices, and when you break the block you get a lower melon return rate.
 * In Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.5.0, the item frame of the melons had a red background, indicating an unfinished item in progress.
 * Melons are only obtainable in Pocket Edition by using a Nether Reactor.
 * In Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition, there is currently a glitch in-game that makes it so on occasion(seems to be about 80% of the time), if one plants a melon seed beside another melon seed they will both disappear, never to return. As a precaution, do not plant seeds next to each other, because you may never find melons again.
 * In Minecraft Pocket Edition, melon blocks cannot be destroyed by explosions. This also applys to obsidian, furnaces, bedrock, grass block, and sometimes wool. This is most likely a bug for the furnace, melon, and grass blocks as these blocks don't have anywhere near the blast resistance of obsidian and/or bedrock.
