Orange Flesh Honeydew
Selection Information
Usage: Just remove the seeds and slice one up. Orange flesh melons taste great all by themselves.
Selection: Good-quality Orange-flesh Honeydew melons will turn a creamy yellow color with a slight orange tinge and the skin will have a slightly waxy feel when ripe. They will be firm with a small amount of softness at the stem and will be fairly large. Sometimes, the seeds of an especially juicy melon will rattle if the melon is shaken.
Avoid: Avoid product that is too firm, too soft, has dark blemishes on the skin or is green-colored.
Seasonal Information
Available May through October from California, Arizona and Texas.
Mexico supplies product during the winter months.
