Melons
Melons are warm-season fruits with juicy flesh, ranging from very sweet to mildly sweet and aromatic. The group includes watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, Galia, and many specialty melons. Melons vary widely in size, shape, skin color, flesh color, sweetness, and texture.
Melons are most often enjoyed fresh, but they can also be grilled, roasted, blended, pickled, or incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. Their refreshing flavor makes them especially popular during warm weather.
Where to buy fresh Melons near you
Choose melons that feel heavy for their size and are free from soft spots, bruises, cracks, or mold. Ripeness indicators vary by type. A ripe cantaloupe should have a sweet aroma and a slight give at the blossom end. Honeydew often becomes slightly fragrant and develops a creamy or yellowish skin as it ripens. Watermelons should feel heavy for their size and have a firm, intact rind.
