Orange honeydew looks like
cantaloupe on the inside but it
isn’t. It’s a hybrid between
cantaloupe and honeydew. Try it
for yourself and see if it tastes
more like honeydew or
cantaloupe.
A perfect pick
“Select a melon that has a creamy white
rind with a slightly green to pale yellow
color. Fruit should be large and weigh
about 5 to 8 pounds. Select a honeydew
with a distinct and pleasant aroma.
Avoid melons with excessive bruises,
dents or cracks.”
