This week is "Melon Week" at Premier ProduceOne and we
have all the usual suspects plus more! We've taken the liberty of
breaking down the descriptions and flavor profiles of each melon...
see below.
The Crenshaw -
This melon is a hybrid of the Casaba & Persian and has a yellow
and green skin and weighs anywhere from 8-10 lbs. The inside has a
dense, tender, peach colored flesh with a sweet yet spicy flavor.
When the skin is golden, you'll know it's ripe. #14258
1-6ct
Santa Clause
Melon- Imagine a
watermelon in the shape of a football... that's the Santa Claus.
When you cut into this melon you'll see a greenish white flesh. The
flavor profile is mildly sweet but the brighter the yellow of the
rind, the riper and sweeter it is. #92247 1-6ct
Galia Melon- Now when it comes to the
Galia melon, the texture is very unique. It has a yellowish, orange
skin and it appears to be covered in a tan netting. This melon is
known for it's memorable spicy yet sweet flavor with tropical
notes. The more orange the skin is, the sweeter this melon will
taste. #90571 1-6ct
Canary Melon- The Canary melon is
around 4-5 lb., oval and smooth. The inside of the this melon is
semi firm but juicy, it is compared to the texture of a ripe pear.
Expect both a tangy & mildly sweet flavor and you'll know it's
at its ripest when the skin is a bright yellow. #14257

Orange Flesh Melon- This melon looks
just like a honeydew from the inside out. Its skin is white to pale
yellow- green but the inside looks and tastes more like a
cantaloupe with its sweet honey melon flavor. #92189

Casaba Melon- Last but not least, we have the
Casaba. This melon is gold with a hint of green throughout. This
