Canary Melon

Canary Melons are believed to be a type of muskmelon, which were first discovered growing in Persia and the surrounding region. Muskmelons were transported from Persia to Egypt in ancient times, and the oldest known record of the melons was traced to around 2400 BCE in Egypt, depicted in a drawing of funerary offerings. This melon's flavor is renowned for its particular tanginess. It has a taste similar to that of regular melons with a tart flavor like citrus. In South America and Asia, it is frequently consumed fresh and as fruit salad.

The species is also known as the winter melon and is scientifically known as Cucumis melo in the Inodorus group. From the outside, the melon is smooth and vivid yellow. The interior of the rather oblong-shaped fruit contains seeds that are distinct from the remaining fruit flesh. The flesh might be clear white, light green, or occasionally even yellow. In South America and Asia, it is frequently consumed fresh and as fruit salad.
