Sprite Melons


Sprite melon looks like a small honeydew with its smooth pale green rind. But it shapes like a Korean yellow melon.

Its seeds are segregated into six chambers, like the Korean yellow melon's. its seeds are hard like honeydew's. Its flesh is pale green like honeydew's, very juicy but more dense.

 
HOW TO PICK FRESH SPRITE MELON

LOOK FOR THESE:

  • Ugly rind with Light yellow or beige color patches (As sprite melon ripens, its rind should become more rough.)
  • With a light, sweet fragrance

AVOID THESE:
  • Light for its size
  • Ultra smooth skin
