Canary Melons

Fruit

Description
An absolute favorite and similar to the casaba melon, a ripe canary melon releases a fruity fragrance and offers a succulent flavor that isn't as sweet as other melons, but refreshing just the same. Oval and smooth, similar to a yellow honeydew, its very pale green to cream-colored juicy flesh has a light pinkish-orange seed cavity. Delicately flavored, the flesh is delectably crisp and firm, similar to a honeydew. When this colorful melon is ripe, its hard rind turns bright yellow and develops a corrugated look and a slightly waxy feel. A softness at the ends is usually a sign of a ripe canary melon.
