I have been trying to eat a little fruit with each meal and my favorite fruits are melons – cantaloupes and honeydews. Problem is when you buy one, odds are that it won’t be good, then you’re stuck with a tasteless melon and have to eat it anyway. So, I have been looking for sure things like Dino Melons when in season and Golden Canary Melons – a winter melon available right now.
I have been finding them regularly at Wal-Mart and they are a little pricey at $4.99, but you can rest assured they are good, and they are sweet.
This melon is common in parts of Asia, including Japan and South Korea. The attractive yellow fruits have a distinctively sweet flavor and juicy white flesh. They are named for their bright yellow color, which resembles that of a canary.
The inside flesh looks a little like a pear but is softer. I often make trips to Wal-Mart specially to buy a melon that I know will be good, and I enjoy each and every delicious slice.
