honeydew melon
Green-fleshed cantaloupe cousin
Honeydew melon is a variety of muskmelon with smooth, pale green or white rind and sweet, light green flesh.
The name comes from its sugary juice, reminiscent of honeydew—the sticky secretion left on plants by aphids.
Honeydews are typically eaten fresh, in fruit salads, or wrapped in prosciutto: The honeydew was perfectly ripe.
