Crenshaw Melon

Selection Information

Usage: Raw in fruit salads or in fruit platters.

Selection: Good-quality Crenshaw melons will be fairly large and firm with a small amount of softness at the stem end. The coloring will be rich yellow with green tinges on the skin. The skin will have a slightly waxy feel when the melon is ripe.

Avoid: Avoid product that is too firm, too soft, has dark blemishes on the skin or is extremely green-colored.

Seasonal Information

Product from South America is available during the winter months. The flavor can be good, but they won't be as sweet as those available in the summer months.
