A large canatloupe tha I have tried as an alternate to Supermarket. It is a good melon, but not competive with Supermarket in any category. It is a softer melon, that does not stand a great deal of handling or keep very long after picking. Market growers have to market it locally at farmstands, farmers markets, or off the back of the pick up truck. |
