Uses

Single serving sized melons with its oval shape with deep evenly spaced yellow ridges, Korean melons have a juicy white flesh. They also have a large seed cavity in the center filled with inedible seeds. Their flavor profile is reminiscent to a very mild cantaloupe, pear and banana flavor, but firm in texture. Popular in Asia because of its firm texture for cooking, Korean Melons will stay firm unlike most melons when cooked. Their convenient size, approximately the size of a softball, makes them easy to handle. They fit easily into a refrigerator crisper or an ice chest.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Melissa’s Korean Melons are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose firm with sweet fragrance. Look for fruit heavy for its size, yielding slightly under pressure. Keep cut or ripe fruit in refrigerator for up to three days. Ripen at room temperature.
