Exotic Melon Varieties

The Canary Melon is also known as Juan Canary and Spanish Melon. This melon is just beautiful, we don’t get tired of looking at it, it looks like a giant candy! It makes everyone around here grin just by looking at it. The skin is bright yellow while the inside is a white/yellow flesh that’s close to a cantaloupe in texture, but the flavor is a game-changer. This is the sweetest and best-tasting melon we’ve had in a while. It’s also slightly tangier than a honeydew with apple, banana, and pineapple flavor accents. It’s definitely in its own category. It’s low on calories and it packs a nutritious punch with vitamins A and C. It pairs nicely with citrus or ginger as well as mint and cilantro, it’s loved by the fine-dining crowd and it’s a great addition to any fruit salad. Order your Canary Melons today!

Dear Melon Lovers, here is an excuse to taste some of the very best flavors a melon has to offer. There are many varieties of melon in Korea but this variety, the Chamoe is the best known in North America, we call it Korean Melon, some people also call it Oriental Melon but as you know, we like to keep it simple. In Korea, this is the fruit that represents summer with its beautiful oval shape and yellow-orange color and it's a fruit commonly enjoyed in many parts of Asia. When you cut into it, you'll see that it's crunchy like a canteloupe, with a really nice flavor. The flesh has pear and cucumber notes, not too sweet but truly delicious. Peel the rind with a peeler and serve them chilled, add to salads, desserts, smoothies, you name it. This box contains 8 pounds of Korean Melons which is about 6 melons

The Kiwano Melon, also known as the African Horned Melon and Melano in Israel, is one of those fruits that will get you followers on Instagram, views on TikTok, and the amazement of your family members and friends of your worldly fruity pursuits. This fruit is so weird-looking that it was even featured on TV as fruit from another planet. Trekkies, now you can enjoy a fruit featured in a Star Trek Episode as the Golana Melon. If Google is indeed correct, the episode’s name was titled “Time’s Orphan”.  What does the Kiwano Melon taste like? The inside is gelatinous and full of seeds, making it look like the perfect alien piece of fruit and it tastes like a delicious cross between melon, and cucumber with a hint of banana and lime and you may eat the seeds if you so desire. This beautifully bizarre-looking fruit is part cucumber and part melon and 100% worthy of your fancy fruit platter. As they say on the show, “Live long, (Eat Kiwano Melon) and prosper! 🖖 If you order from Tropical Fruit Box, of course.” We added that last part. 😉

Dosakai Melons are the undercover melons of the fruit world. Some people say they are melons, others that they are cucumbers, honestly, we don't have time to argue. Neither do you.
