Canary Melon seeds
The Canary Melon is a yellow-skinned melon that can range from 3-7 inches on average. The skin is smooth but will wrinkle as they mature and may have brown markings. Each end of the melon tapers slightly similar to a football. The name is derived from the color being similar to a canary. Canary melon tastes like a cross between banana, Korean pear, pineapple, and cantaloupe. This popular melon goes by other names, depending on whom you talk to and where they are from. These are exquisite when enjoyed sliced raw but can be used in fruit salads and smoothies. When juiced or blended on their own, the flavors truly shine!
