Ramps
The wild ramp, AKA wild leek, botanical name Allium tricoccum, is a flowering perennial plant that grows in clusters. It is a member of the Allium family along with onions and leeks
Calamondin Limes
The Calamondin lime is a cross between a sour, loose skinned mandarin and a kumquat, therefore technically making it an orangequat.
Salanova® Lettuces
Salanova® lettuce is a full-sized variety developed for the baby lettuce market. Botanically these varieties are scientifically known as Lactuca sativa.
Description/Taste
The Honeydew is round to oval and somewhat larger than the typical cantaloupe, ranging from 4 to 8 pounds. It has a smooth firm outer rind that turns from green to whitish yellow as it matures, transforming from very hard and smooth to almost velvety with a slight stickiness. The crisp yet juicy flesh is medium to pale green with the deepest shade occurring just below the skin. If the blossom end yields to gentle pressure, the melon is ready to eat. Once a Honeydew melon is picked, it may soften but can no longer get any sweeter. Vine-ripened melons picked at their peak maturity will have the best flavor and highest sugar content.
Seasons/Availability
Honeydew melons are available year-round.
Current Facts
The Honeydew melon is muskmelon variety falling under the Honeydew cultivator group, Cucumis melo inodorus. Winter melons are called such because they ripen slowly and are not ready to eat until late fall. The Honeydew melon, sometimes called the Balian or Wallace melon, is like other winter melons, in that it is hardy and has a long shelf-life. This contributes highly to its commercial value and long-lived success. In America it is one of the most commercially successful winter melons on the market today, this is due largely in part to its exceptionally sweet flesh that can reach up to sixteen degrees on the Brix refractometer reading.
Nutritional Value
Honeydew melons are a good source of vitamins C and B6 as well as potassium and fiber.
Applications
Honeydew melons are most often used in fresh preparations such as fruit salads or cold soups. The pureed flesh can be added to sauces, smoothies, cocktails and syrups. The sweet flavor of the Honeydew melon will complement breakfast and dessert preparations. Honeydew pairs well with lime, mint, basil, sweet cream, cottage cheese, fruity olive oil and fresh berries. Store unripe melons at room temperature. Refrigerate ripe melons in a plastic bag for two to three days. Once cut, cover and keep refrigerated.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
In France the Honeydew melon was originally known as Melon d'Antibes Blanc d'Hiver or White Antibes Winter melon.
Geography/History
The Honeydew melon is the American name for the White Antibes cultivar that was primarily cultivated in southern France and Algeria as early as the late fifteenth century. In 1911 in New York a White Antibes melon was served in a dish at a restaurant and a guest that evening found the melon to be to exceptional that he saved a seed and sent it to the plant breeder John E. Gauger in Colorado to grow. In 1915 the USDA identified the melon as White Antibes and the melon was renamed Honeydew. Like many varieties of melon the Honeydew plants thrive in a hot dry climate.
