super melon

I was at a Middle Eastern market yesterday with Ming.  A friend was late meeting us there for lunch, so we looked at the foods for sale for a long time.  I ended up buying a package of Egyptian-style super melon seeds for $4.19.  I can't figure out how to eat them.  I ate some whole but there was too much fiber.  They're like pumpkin seeds but smaller and thicker.  I tried to crack one open to eat just the inside, but the inside is too small.

What is a super melon?
