MELONS




Melons are sweet edible fruits that belong to the gourd family and are
divided into two categories: muskmelon and watermelon. These fruits
have been enjoyed for thousands of years in many countries and are
thought to have originated in Persia.

Muskmelons have either netted skin, like cantaloupes and Christmas melons,
or smooth skin, like honeydew and casabas. Other varieties include Spanish,
Persian, winter, and Crenshaws. All contain seeds and have a hollow center
with fibrous material. They vary in color, including shades of yellow, pale
green, and orange. One variety or another is available year round, but they
are most plentiful in late summer and early fall.

To determine whether a muskmelon is ripe, people should look for a slight
softness at the blossom end and check for a sweet scent. To ripen a melon,
it should be stored at room temperature and then keep cool until ready to
use. When a cook is ready to eat it, she should cut in half and remove the
seeds.

WATERMELON




Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai, family Cucurbitaceae)
can be both the fruit and the plant of a vine-like (scrambler and trailer)
herb originally from southern Africa and one of the most common types of melon.

This flowering plant produces a special type of fruit known by botanists as a
pepo, a berry, which has a thick rind (exocarp) and fleshy center (mesocarp and
endocarp); pepos are derived from an inferior ovary and are characteristic of
the Cucurbitaceae. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon
(although not in the genus Cucumis), has a smooth exterior rind (green, yellow,
and sometimes white) and a juicy, sweet interior flesh (usually pink, but
sometimes orange, yellow, red, and sometimes green if not ripe).
