Yellow Melon

Yellow melon is a variety of muskmelon (Cucumis melo) with a yellow or golden skin and pale, usually white to cream-coloured flesh. In terms of flavour it tends to be sweeter and less watery than the classic green-yellow honeydew melon. It contains vitamins C and B, potassium, and beta-carotene. It is a refreshing summer fruit that works wonderfully as a dessert, in fruit salads, or on a platter with ham and prosciutto. The flesh is easy to blend into smoothies, sorbets, or fruity drinks. It is harvested in summer when it reaches peak sweetness. It can be found on the market under a variety of commercial names.
