About Melon
Melon refers here to the edible fruit without a more specific variety being identified. The flesh is commonly eaten fresh, either cut from the rind or served in pieces; this generic entry does not describe a particular melon cultivar.
Melons have a rind surrounding moist, usually soft flesh and seeds. Flesh colour, firmness, sweetness, and rind characteristics vary among kinds, so these features cannot be assigned more narrowly without an identified variety.
