Honey Dew Melon
The Honeydew melon was first grown in France as White Antibes, but renamed Honeydew by the Americans. The greenish-white, sweet flesh is delicious and popular in fruit salads and smoothies, or just enjoyed as is. The seeds are also edible and are best soaked in brine then dry-roasted.
