Melons are enjoyed all over the world. Here are just a few of the more popular melons you will find at Iovine Brothers!
Honeydew Melons are a variety of muskmelon with a pale yellow waxy skin and crisp light green flesh. The thick, juicy flesh is eaten raw on its own or mixed with other fruit in salads. It can also be used to make drinks.
Cantaloupe Melons are more closely related to cucumbers than water melons. Cantaloupes are flavorful with a beautiful aromatic fragrance. They normally have a uniform, round shape with bumpy skin. Their interior flesh is a delicious orange color. Cantaloupes are rich in vitamin A, vitamins C and B9
Piel De Sapo Melons are a Spanish-style melon about the size and shape of a football with an attractive green, mottled, patterned skin (non-netted rind). Also known as Santa Claus, Christmas, Camouflage or Frog Skin, this delicious melon has pale green to white flesh that is very sweet, juicy and tender. Piel de Sapo melons have a super-sweet melon flavor with a juicy, honedew-like essence.
Similar to a canteloupe, but with a green flesh interior, the Galia Melon was grown originally in Israel, but is now also grown in the US, Brazil, Spain, Costa Rica, and Panama.
The Canary Melon is a large, bright-yellow melon with a pale green to white inner flesh. This melon has a distinctively sweet flavor that is slightly more tangy than a honeydew. The flesh looks like that of a pear but is softer and tastes like a cantaloupe. When ripe, the rind has a slightly waxy feel. The name comes from its bright yellow color, which resembles that of the canary (bird). This melon is often marketed as the Juan Canary melon.
The Hami Melon ranges from a round to oval shape and is often characterized by color patches and netting. There are more than 180 variations of this melon, causing a wide variety of shapes, sizes, rind patterns, and flesh colors. Rind color varies between off-white, yellow, brown, and green with netting or lines.
